Erratic idle and piston slap sound - creative - 10-25-2014

Hi. I´m new to this forum but been watching you guys for a little while.

What would you think that was wrong with this engine.
I am down to that conclusion that this is a bearing in the crankshaft.

about a month ago i changed the head gasket and the head due to headfailiure. the car smokes blue smoke and has lost most of its power

any comments are grate Smile

here is a video of idle and rev

Has a dead cylinder for one reason or another..start cracking injector lines while its running to see which cylinder is dead. Then go from there.
