Answer
Hi
Really as much as I'd like to help diagnose your knock, it is RAELLY hard to diagnose noises.
If it is a deep, "throaty" knock, it is most likely crankshaft related.
If it is more of a tapping or ticking, it may be valve train related (cam, lifters etc...)
Best advice is to take it to a mechanic or repair shop YOUR familiar with and have them diagnose noise properly.
Good Luck
