wonder if the bearings can be done just by dropping the pan?

OK, on my latest 83 wagon, the story is kid kit a curb, dumped oil out.
Ever since has a loud knock. Anyways, messing with it today, sounds
like it might be coming from #2. If it was a rod knocking and not just
a loud diesel knock, would it still knock when the offending injector
line is loosened? On this one, seems to have a knock no matter which is
loosed, and all cylinders seem to be firing evenly.
Rod knock should not be dependent on the cylinder firing. If anything, the
knock might be a teense quieter when the offending rod's cylinder is not
firing.
I'd probably yank the oil pan to see if you're [still] getting bearing
material in the pan. Usually a spun bearing will have torn through part of
the bearing. 617 cranks are ridiculously hard, you can probably slap
a set of bearings on it for cheap and have a good runner for a while. Not
sure if that'll be easier than locating a runner wagon engine, or swapping a
wagon head onto a runner sedan/coupe engine.
