Yup. I think it will fail the test.
Could be an inj or the hole.

The injectors are dragonfly. I just put them in the like 5k miles ago it can't be the injectors. I have a knocking sound under the hood so i am thinking pision and rings.

Just because they are new is not a reason to rule them out.
Maybe more so if any.

it could be an injector knock. you said the smoke and issues went away for a little while. pistons dont heal themselves, nor do dusted cylinder walls or burnt valves

Yep injectors can make knocking and ticking noise like that too. If piston or rings were an issue you would normally have low compression.
