my motor is knocking also.it is probably your rod or main bearing that has spun.mine was slightly low of oil and i was racing at the strip but i didn't take it past 6600 but who knows,sometimes these stock bottom ends hold out forever and sometimes alittle abuse gets the best of them.

is it a knock that goes knock knock silent then knock knock. or a solid knocking?
because if its a double knock then a pause and then again you have a wrist pin problem
if its a solid knock it could be bad conn. rod or main journal bearing
or execesive rod clearance
