I like to remove a valve cover and pour oil on the camshaft. Get every lobe wet before turning the engine.
That cam and lifter is the biggest failure area.
Pre oil the oil pump with a drill is mandatory.
Is you garage heated or dry? Or is it humid there like the northeast? Look in with a...
Oven cleaner is very strong, might remove the paint also.

he may be hiding something or he may not want the tire kickers wasting his time.
Do not start this engine again! Since it is knocking and hard to turn over.
