Usually, a knocking engine is very bad, and requires replacement or rebuild of the engine. If the engine is going "clank-clank-clank" at idle, and the sound gets louder when you get on the gas and disappears for a sec or two when you let off, that means you gotta replace the engine. You ain't gonna go for but a couple more miles before you throw a rod....
