Diesel big end knock?

[Boosted LS1]

I was pondering this the other day. How come the bearings don't get pounded to death? I'm assuming the knock is from the big ends?

Sure the knock is generated accoustically within the combustion chamber rather than from mechanical contact in any bearings.

Has someone nicked Boosteds phone?

Ah, is that what it is? That would make sense.
