Injector knock, or?

Around 800 miles ago, I completely ran out of fuel. Filled it back up, it ran fine, no injector noise.

Last Saturday Tom Sweeney and I replaced my timing chain and tensioner and immidiately after starting it with the new chain I notice some rather loud injector knock OR lifter noise, they sound very similar. BTW, Tom pointed out that my existing chain had over 12 degrees of stretch!!

Thinking that a particle of sludge got past the filters and clogged one of the injectors, the next day I replaced the 2 fuel flters, put a bottle of Red Line diesel catalyst in and drove it. 310 miles later, I still have injector knock. Though not as severe, I still hear it even when driving.

The inline filter was completely filthy with sludge, I didn't inspect the spin on type. What should I do from here, its driving me crazy. It sounds like im driving a car with a bad engine, like the regular diesel sound isn't loud enough already, now it sounds like I'm about to throw a rod.
