It might be a good idea to pick up a set of oil galley cleaning brushes. Both Amazon and Autozone have them listed for around $50 for the complete set. That will allow you to make sure every oil passage is clean and clear of the paper towel fibers. I'd also check for wristpin knock or lifter issues while you have everything down.
Fingers crossed that you find nothing serious causing the knock.
