Low loss. Put it back together, cleaned plugs and seafoamed into a vacuum tube slightly for a few times then drowned it and let it set for an hour.
I don't know what did the trick but the noise became very audible, clear and consistent -
rod bearing. I have a feeling putting oil in it yesterday morning helped eliminate the "jumbled" portion of the noise the most.
I have heard a very minor version of this noise from as long as 20k miles ago and thought it was resonance from a heat shield.
So I put some seafoam in the oil and putted around the neighborhood looking like a mosquito fogger while the seafoam cleared out of the pistons.
Ordered the bearings - $22 -and will install Saturday.
Thanks Eric for all the help. The link you provided had the same pictures in the Haynes book and was a much more thorough description of the process.
I hope you are not going to tell me I have to have the block line bored in Japan. I do need to find if the con rods bolts are stretch bolts.
Here is a video of the beast crying out in pain.
