maybe it's just my brain but the engine doesn't even sound normal to me anymore, something has changed even just idling something is different and it's not a rattle or tick or anything like that it just sounds different than it has before. could be my imagination....

would the specific cylinder misfires correlate with a bank noise causing knock?
kind of wouldn't make sense though because a lot of the misfire are on 2 & 7

^^^ Could be, right?! ^^^

actual timing should be actual.I saw a -12.5 degrees timing shown at one point.
I thought max was -10, but who knows there maybe some other adders or multipliers.

Looking at MY previous normal graphs, timing tends to stay above 16degrees (warmed up),
EXCEPT during shifts, I see spikes down to -5 degrees (final advance) very briefly.
(pretty sure that is a torque management shift setting)

With the loose mount/knock retard, timing advance could stay negative.
Never dipped below -10, but would often be negative once knock retard kicked in.

My indivudal cylinder knocks were all nearly identical, despite it being close to one knock sensor. Could be the vibration just rings the whole block.
(Or I suppose the knock was so continuous it continued throughout all cylinder ignition events evenly.)
About your cylinder misfires, did they move around? I though I saw some different cylinders before it was 7 & 8. Think I read misfires are sensed by the crank speed..

they did but 2,7,8 seem to be more than others, 8 has came up alone a few times then it will show random.
just went to check to see if the motor moves in drive/reverse but doesn't appear to budge at all or very very little.
I guess when it cools off later this evening I will get under it and tap around with a mallet

Only thing that stands out is the continuous knock for a couple sessions..?
looks like it feels normal cruising slowly? Once you roll up past 3500 rpms it retards

I don't know if this is the problem, but I bet if you take the starter out and feel it in your hands, you'll want to replace it. :)
Might be a good time for that maintenance..
