No one cause..... no more than over reving the engine.......I bet 10 to 1 that is exactly what happened....
Broken timing chain
Over revving the engine.
SOURCE: engine swap
I just put a 96 360 magnum in my 97 dodge 4x4 that had a 318 in it. Yes it does fit. I noticed that the flex plate on the 360 has balance weights on it and the 318 does not. Make sure the plate stays with the 360. The torque converter and exhaust manifolds bolted right up. The 96 360 engine had different connector plugs on the Map sensor, Crank Sensor and Tps. Get those off of your 318.
I did notice that with the 96 PCM for the 360 my fuel guage was off quite a bit. The 360 will run off of the 318 computer at least if your in a bind for Money.

SOURCE: why do i have low compression in only one cylinder
Here is a easy way to find out,its called a leakage test and here is how you can do it,bring that cylinder top dead center,you may have to remove that valve cover and make sure all valves are bottomed out.put 50 psi of air in the spark plug hole remove radiator cap air cleaner and oil fill,listen for the air comeing out.if you have air coming from your air cleaner you have a intake valve bad,do the same with the exhaust,if you have bubbles in your radiator you have a blown headgasket,if you hear alot of air comeing from your oil fill you have a problem with that piston,I hope this helps you,

If it is a push rod or a loose rocker arm it wouldnt be rattling it would be ticking or knoking.
SOURCE: what happens if reinstall the exhaust pushrod
intate and exhaust push rods are the same size and part numbrer, so nothing will happen, they are both
