Ok just curious...If your oil level is good. While at idle grab your top upper intake and push down hard with your hands to see if the knock will go away.. I had to replace the upper intake clam shell because the baffle broke loose from the top. Sounded just like an engine rod knock.. A few years ago it was around a 150.00 bucks.. I am sure it has dropped some since..

I took mine apart and glued with rtv sealer and all is well. It wasn't knocking till I did the isolator bolt fix.
