There is no question that these engines make diffrent noises. As how you drove it, I have done worse and still runs the same. When I bought mine it had a diffrent type of knock that came in at 2000-2300 rpm. Have drove the truck all over an long trips towing my M725, And my Goat. The noise never changes. When I changed the oil before the trip from Michigan to Iowa I changed all the fuilds and run the oil from the filters after ripping apart through white paper and found no metal. The truck towed the Gama Goat along with about 5000lbs in the bed with out any problems. The help you have got here so far is great. Again a HUGE well of info if you have the tools to check the outside of each cyl and you might find one lowwer.(fuel problem). But like others said try to find the noise before you take apart. I used to rebuild alot of gas engines and it is always better to do that first. And like you said its not to hard to take the pan off to check the bearings.
