I think I found the problem.
About a month ago I replaced the original timing chain with a Cloyes 3 piece replacement. The car ran great for about two weeks after the change. I decided to drop the oil pan and did not find any metal/material. Dropped the front cover and everything looked ok. However, the two bolts that hold the cam gear were not tight. One of them was not even finger tight. I had a helper and maybe he or I forgot to snug them down. I am pretty sure this is what has been causing the knock.
I will put everything back tomorrow and will let you know how it goes.
