Banging is not encouraging but seldom goes away after an oil change - id
be inclined to have a mechanic listen to it with a stethescope in case
theres a bearing problem
also if the head has been rebuilt due to heat, check theres no mixture of
oil and water due to warping - either in the radiator or the valve cover
