Here's an area that needs to be addressed on every Dart block I've used:



The counterweight on the crank will inevitably rub one of the oil passages going to the #4 main bearing and sometimes on #2 and #3. I usually slather the whole area with a Sharpie marker and I get a good witness mark. Then comes the die grinder...

More to follow...
So that was the clanking noise I heard on my previous engine.

Eventually went away!
