When you rebuilt your engine, did you check for slipped liners? I found an imprint from what looks like a moving liner of cyl #4 on the head gasket. Since I had the typical knocking and this cylinder caused the engine to fail I believe it was indeed a slipped liner.
My engine has top-hat flanged liners- they can't slip. That was the FIRST rebuild... argh... thanks though.
