I have just finished rebuilding my 318 and have not even been able to move it yet, I started it and was hearing a very bad exhaust leak and tap. I put a left over gasket on the one side (along with the new one) and the sound from that side quieted .but the other side I didn’t have a gasket to put on and it is knocking very bad especially after removing the valve cover, is it a lifter or rod knock * note I put all new pistons but used the old connecting rods,but new bearings of course, it has hydraulic lifters that I thought may be collapsed, but it’s making a very deep noise, but the engine itself has a very deep tone
