Several things could be causing that, but a typical "engine knock" usually signifies the need for a replacement engine, or a complete overhaul of the engine. I would recommend a replacement, and I would go with a Jasper product if you can. I work for an automotive repair shop, and we install dozens of them every year, and we have never had a single problem with them. They are definitely worth the money.
