I agree, when looking at the color of the piston it would appear it's ran awhile, leading me to believe it spent the first part of it's life without the knock. The fact that it's only one made me think immediately that it had a bent rod. Putting the engine in a hydraulic lock does strange things to a rod, bent, twist, what have you.
Amazing it hasn't done more damage.
