hearing some knocking. . .
When I start the car, or when I step on the go-pedal, I hear some knocking. It's pretty loud. . .at first, I started thinking the worst case and figured I may already have a bent rod or something, then I realize, if I put the car in neutral and try to hit the gas, the noise does not continue. . .any ideas?

With a bent rod your car may not even run. Rod bearing possible. But a light ticking/knocking sound could also be a loose piston ring land just going along for the cyclical ride and making noise.

Hope someone is running a special on forged short blocks.
