If I read correctly, you are asking what the difference between lifter tick and rod knock are...?
The differences between rod knock and lifter tick are:
1. Lifters are in the head
2. Rods are in the block
3. Lifters make a "tick"
4. Rods make a "knock"
5. Lifter tick can cause timing pull if bad enough, but from what I've read and experienced, does not cause any damage.
6. Rod knock will cause timing pull, and if you've got a knocking rod, you've probably got a pan full of bearing material, and some beat up internals. Next comes a spun rod bearing, and some more bearing material, destroyed rods/caps, destroyed crank, with the possibility of the bearing material working it's way into other stuff to destroy that too.
The difference is: lifter tick = minor, rod knock = new engine time (debatable).
If you're swapping in another 7 bolt...you really shouldn't have (as many) issues. I'd start slow on those mods.
Also, I'd work on your grammar and capitalization. You'll get your threads locked if you don't.

Rod knock sounds mean as hell. You mos def know that your engine is fucked when you hear it.
Makes you cringe.

Lol, that was a copy/paste error. It was supposed to be a joke for a friend on my MSN.
I guess the youtube link I wanted to paste didn't copy

Rod Knock
There...I think that's right now.
The engine you are putting in has knock, or the one you're pulling out?
I've never used an AFC, so I can't help you much there. I'd say don't do any pedal stomping.

I had knock that sounded like the drumline in a band. Damn shop I took it to smashed the oil pan so bad when they did the water pump that it starved from oil.
Anyways, I did the same thing swaped a 7 bolt in. Took about two days to get the old out and the new in. Just be careful that everything gets hooked up right. And you may have to reset your BISS.
Have fun and Good luck.
