87 trx 250 Fourtrax Rod Knocking or Wristpin?

I have a 1987 fourtrax 250 with a slight metal to metal knocking sound in the head when at idle. I took the head apart to check the rod but found no play in it. The wristpin also seems to be fine. There is no up , down looseness I can find that would cause the knocking. Any idea? The knocking is only heard at idle and sounds like metal to metal slapping. Like a rod knocking but not as loud or hard.Not a tapping like a cam chain more of a slapping of metal. As far as I know the engine is all stock with maybe new rings.
Thanks for any Info.
