Chuck, why are you running this thing? You say you have low oil pressure and the engine knocks at load and higher rpm. You also say you destroyed your bearings with oil additives.
You need a rebuild. Soon. It's not hard to do, just a pain in the butt. Pull it out, tear it apart, and take it to a GOOD machine shop and have it all machined. put it back together, break it in as specified by the machine shop, change the oil after the first 500 miles or so, after about 1500 miles, change to synthetic oils (including your tranny and diffs) and you shouldn't have to worry about it again.
