At the skirt area. I somehow reset zero when I measured the pistons yesterday. Rechecked bores and pistons today. All is good. Rechecked the pin play. No 2 seems to be the source of the knock. The big end moves about 1/4".

As far as metal expansion rates, I do know this. That bit of info should have bubbled to the top when I was thinking of piston slap getting worse when hot.
