350 has good oil pressure but has a knock up top?
well it could bet a bent push rod or a lifter could be bad
Knock in the engine that comes and goes the oil pressure is on the low side and you had lots of recent repairs around the engine are you losing your engine?
well a couple things could be wrong depending on what year. if it is a hydraulic lifter then the oil pressure might not be high enough for the oil to reach the lifter causing a knock. another problem could be that your rod and main bearings could be worn out causing a knock and low oil pressure.

How do you replace the transmission modulator valve on a 1985 380sl Mercedes Benz?
The modulator valve is located on the LH side of the tranny and has a vacuum line going to. After replacing you have to set the modulator pressure by connecting a gauge to the tranny, removing the cover from the modulator valve and turning adjustment bar underneath. With out pictures its hard to show how the gauge is connected. To be quite honest if you really have done the tests required to diagnose the modulator than setting the pressure should be the easy. If you have more specific questions feel free to add answers and I will do my best to help. Sorry my answer could not be more complete.
