Ctknorr- this sounds eerily similar to my ongoing experience. Full clean oil (258 rebuilt then sat for 3 yrs which I did not know when I bought it) drove fine and then the knock. I pulled the valve cover/compression tested fine/replaced rod bearings- still knocks but not as bad. Intermittent now.
IMO I should have found a mechanic familiar with this engine and had them diagnose. Looks like I will have to do this anyway and time/money wasted.
Good luck-
