      check resistance on the fuel injectors. i believe that honda injectors need to be 10.5 ohms or higher. eric correct me if i am wrong. i have seen a shorting injector, (for example on cyl #4 cause a code P0305 and P0306. all i can attribute that to is that O2 on that bank was seeing extra fuel being injected and leaning out that bank causing cyl 5 and 6 to lean out)

        definately sounds like internal engine noise, connecting rod, lifters, kinda hard to accurately pinpoint with video.
        FYI if engine was not knocking,common stalling problems on those engines where caused by fuel injectors on the front bank with resistance below 11.6 ohms, also depending on which transmission the torque converter lockup solenoid would cause a stalling also.

          there may be a injector leaking or “hanging” up. check resistance on the injector, i believe 10-13ohms is the spec. what is the engine vaccum at idle and high speed (2000 rpm), should be 17-21 in/hg. and hold steady any flutter on the vaccum gauge can indicate worn valve train components. also check for vaccum leaks if you haven’t done so already.
          best of luck to you.

                check the harmonic balancer sounds like it “spun” on the pulley meaningn the rubber insulator has gave out.

                    are 5 & 7 plug wires crossed on the cap? common mistake on a small block chevy engine especially if it is a standard round cap. firing order is 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2 with cyl 1 on the front drivers side and distributor turns clockwise as your facing the engine #1 plug wire should be on the front of the dist. almost offset to your right(drivers side)

                        also double check your connections. if no head lamps or other lites maybe a bad connection at battery or ground cable

                            ign switch. very possible, also make sure that the neutral saftey switch is operating correctly, try shifting it around and see. is the truck a auto or manual trans? gm trucks if i am not mistaking DO NOT have a starter relay.
                            1 is there power at the bat cable at the starter?
                            2 make sure that the little wire is connected to the “s” terminal on the starter solenoid. if it is check for power at that connection when you turn the key to the crank position.
