Build em loose and fast! I've built around 15 motors now, none have made that sound except that one, at least it runs good!
Fun Fact, I had City Motor Supply recondition stock rods and put ARP bolts in them, got em back to build the motor and the OE big ends were within .0003 of spec, the remans were .002 over/under, they wouldn't have lasted more than a few mins if I put them in w/o checking.
Fortunately I had that extra set of OE rods, that's what's in the motor now, with stock rod bolts even.
