My R6 is down with piston slap or connecting rod failure...

I think I found the source of the engine noise. The front plate on the cam chain tensioner that rides on the chain guide was loose. I used a pair of punches to widen the rolled pin that holds the plate in place. That tightened the plate significantly, and when I started the engine the loud knocking noise was gone.

Only thing left to do is ride it to make sure that the noise stays gone, and then give a call to the shop about that tensioner and one other little thing.
