Please help identify this sound from my motor.

i would think that the bent rod, would shorten the upward stroke, even if only a small amount... when the spark went off, being that the piston wasnt where it was SUPPOSED to be, it would almost act like pre-detonation, slamming the piston down against the continual rotating mass, causing the knock against the crank.... even the smallest inconsistency can sound bigger than it is.
OR the slight bend put lateral torque on the piston, and it slanted in the cylinder, knocking off the cylinder walls... BUT, you said theres no wall damage.
im leaning more towards the first possibility

No, you can't alter the angular position of TDC & BDC by bending the rod -- those are fixed by the throws on the crank. The piston's linear axis of movement is constrained by the cylinder, so a bent rod basically acts like a shorter and fatter rod. The rod can hit the cylinder wall or the piston skirt can hit the crank at the bottom of the stroke.
so, would this JUST make a bigger space for combustion to occur, but still combusting when the CRANK is TDC?
could that create any kind of noise? because it doesnt look the the rod was bent radically enough for the piston skirt to knock on the rotating crank.
sorry, im just digging to find stuff out... its not easy to do, not having the engine in front of me, im just really curious where the knock could be coming from, so im running all kinds of possibilities through my head. lol

Oh hai, any new updates on that lamp?
As far as the rod goes, i'm guesssing it could make that sound since the weight difference to the one side could theoretically slap the cylinder at the wall. I'm guessing it also twisted sideways so it was harder to turn. At the very minimum ensure you get the walls honed and checked for roundness.

Personally I'm not sure I'd reuse any part of that bottom end.

I dont think there are missing pieces of the piston. It looks intact but I will double check. Nevertheless, I will have the cylinder rehoned and checked for roundness. I will have the crank checked and will replace the piston. Forged rods are already en route. All Rings and bearings will be replaced as well.
I appreciate the advice guys.
Regarding the hypothesis of the sound coming from piston slap, would the noise be as consistent or would it be more random?

This part of the piston touches the crankshaft.

If you inspect your crankshaft you probably find marks on the "counter weights" dunno what you call it (I'm from non-English speaking country)
that is whats making the noise. My engi made the same noise when i bent my rods.

Here is a pic of the bearings on that rod. Is that normal wear? It doesnt look good to me.
