Just finished my first overhaul of an engine, not a full rebuild but new main bearings, new piston rings, wrist pins, little end bolts etc however there's a slight metallic knocking noise now the engines all back together, at idle it's nice and smooth, same goes for high revs however when the throttle is opened quickly the knocking happens until the rpm evens out, it doesn't do this to any noticeable amount when pulling up a hill or accelerating when in the car.
Just wondering if anyone had any experience with this, all bearings had some degrees of tightness, not tight just a tad stiff so no rod knock that I could imagine, same goes for the little end, they had literally no play at all and the new pins weren't tight just slightly stiffer than the old ones.
I hope it's nothing for concern.
