Well I've been getting a knocking noise
but only after the motor has fully warmed up 
and then oil pressure gets real to about 15 PSI, (its at 60 when cold) so I pulled the pan to look underneath and see if I can't see anything.
I've put on a new oil pump and screen
already since I have it off and from what I can see everything looks good under there but I could be wrong
The only bearings that seem to have any play are the rod bearings and its just slight movement forward and back which I believe is normal?
Just wanted to know if there is anything in specific I should check while the pans off.
Oh yeah its for a SBC 350 and are you supposed to use silicone on an oil pan, because I know your not supposed on a transmission pan
Thanks
