That's not much info to go on? What was knocking? How many miles? Did you do compression or leak down tests.Did you do any other testing? How hard/loud was it knocking? Are you sure it wasn't an exhaust leak, they sometimes can sound like a knock. How much oil pressure does it have?

Between which 2 cylinders--- was the HG blown? Someone recently posted that a blown HG between 2 particular cylinder can sound like a knock. But with 300K on an overheated engine, anything could be knocking. With 300K on it, it's time is limited.
I would recommend either a complete rebuild (not just bearings) or look for another engine.
