Same knock after rebuild

That distortion would cause wear at the rod/cap parting line due to side-pinch. See p 12 of the bearing diagnosis guide I previously linked to.

Ok also noticed this. Why the different rod caps the one on the left is the one that spun. Anyone ever seen a cap like this one on the left. All the other caps are the same but all the numbers are also in sequence. I should say all the other caps are the same as the one on the right.

You do know the orientation for the rods on the right bank are supposed to be different than on the left bank (relative to the piston forward mark)? Is it possible you installed a piston/rod assembly in a cylinder that it didn't come out of (switched banks)? Did you mark both the rod and cap with the cylinder it came out of?
Connecting rod bearing tangs on rod/cap always go together on the same side of the rod and both towards the outside of the block. Notch in pistons goes forward. Two different connecting rod orientations, one for each bank of cylinders.
