Anyone ran into this before, it's definitely a knock. Can knocks go away like that after warm up? Should I jump to a much thicker oil like a 20W50. I was planning on driving my L6 250 for a year or so while I rebuild my 350 so I hope to extend it's life until its ready.

Not good, RIP L6250. It’ll probably last a little while — add some of that thick LUCAS it may help.
