Help! Small block 360 has a knocking sound

Many current engines run 200 psi or more. Small block chevy vortec seen them at 205 psi stock.
Yes but the newer engines are running very different roller cam profiles and some darned high compression ratios, with good spark control to stay out of detonation. A very different animal. Trust me: No 9:1 LA with flat lifter cam is gonna run 200 psi numbers..... unless the cam is way too small and the SCR is up past 11 or 12:1.... or the lifters and/or cam lobes are all screwed up and not lifting the valves like they should.

BTW, a couple of bent pushrods could make this run this way.
