knocking noise Hi hope you guys can give me some clues as to what might be wrong
I started my truck idled fine good oil pressure about 40 warmed it up to operating temp and started slow at about 2000 or 2500 rpms a knocking or
rattling noise started. I had only driven a couple of blocks so I turned around and coated home. I started it this morning good oil pressure at idle no noise as soon as I rev the noise starts. this is a built motors probe forged rotating assembly tsp 224/228 cam comp pushrods lifters stock rockers with trunnion upgrade melling high volume oil pump dart heads psi springs titanium retainers gen 4 5.3 iron block bored to 3.903 4inch stroke. I plan on draining oil in morning and opening the valve covers see if I see anything wrong motor has about 5000 miles rev limit set at 6500 any ideas would be greatlly appreciated

Looked at the flex plate and stall converter couln no see any cracks or loose bolt though the hole I was looking through is kind of small. I took of the oil filter and opened it found small traces of bronze oil extremely dirty even though it only has around 2000 miles. im running joe gibbs 30-10 conventional oil. Going to remove valve covers see what I find. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
