Dropped the oil pan and removed the oil pickup. Numbers 2, 3 and 4 cylinders had very little side to side wiggle. Only cylinder making noise was #2 cause when I pulled the plug and started the motor it didn't make the knock anymore. After inspecting the rod cap journals , rod journals and crankshaft, there isn't any scaring. there was a tad bit of metal in the oil, but it was very very fine. Would it be ok to just put stock bearings back in or would I need to have the crank machined and put oversized bearings in that are thicker?

Just a little insight of what's going on. Had a small knock between 2200-2500 rpm. pulled each plug wire one at a time. When I pulled the #2 plug, the knock went away. Dropped the oil pan and pickup. #2, 3 and 4 rods had very slight wiggle. #1 didn't have any wiggle. I removed all 4 rod caps and removed the bearings. #2 cap bearing didn't have the little tit on the side to keep in place. All caps, rods and crank looked good. no scratches or scaring. Would I be able to just throw some stock/standard bearings back in the block and call it good, or would I need to machine the crank? There was very VERY little metal in the oil, more like a metallic paint as compared to bits of metal

if it's knocking, then my opinion is you need to machine or replace the crank.

I doubt the crank has no scratches or scarring. Never seen a knocking motor last LONG with "just a new set of bearings"
