So I finally got around to taking her apart. So I started by draining the oil into a pan and I didnt see any shimmer or signs of metal in the oil.. I proceeded to take off the oil pan. All the rods have no play in them. On the top, the only thing I found was a pretty bad exhaust leak on cylinder number 10. My exhaust valves also look kind of burnt all the way to up. Could that little knock that I've been hearing was that exhaust leak on that one cylinder? When the truck was cold it was very noticeable but once up to normal temp it almost went away .
