Default Knock Knock, Who's there?

Well, I changed my oil last saturday for the first time since the rebuild, and it is knocking again, it sounds like somtihng isnt wearing right in the engine, i dont know if it is a bearing or not, but somthing isnt right, I took it to a dealership yesterday and Easycare is going to look into another engine, weather it be a new block or a used one from a junkyard, Talked to a mechanic and he seems to think that since it stacked a bearing on #6 rod and the block wasnt line bored that, that is whats causing the knock, his words *its junk* which is cool, because my guess is since GM thinks this they will recommend a new engine or a junkyard one, but i dont know yet. Also the drain plug had alot of metal on it compared to what i've seen before on any vehicle, it has 390miles on this oil change and im changine it again tomorrow to lok for more metal. We'll see..

Anyone else think it could because the block wasnt linebored?

NastyC and 2000ws6 had a video of the knock, dont know where i can find it, or if anyone remembers. been awhile.
