The three most common reasons why you might get "engine knock" could be: 1) You need a higher octane gasoline for your older engine. 2) Your carburetor might be running a little too lean. 3) You might be experiencing pre-ignition in your cylinders (which can be caused by a variety of reasons).
Any one of these existing conditions could possibly not show up the symptoms until the engine gets up to operating temperature.
you do not check the oil in the engine and the engine gets too hot
Most likely you did not align properly the mark, it causes the engine to have wrong timing as result the engine knocks.
when you oil gets hot it tends to thin out. Say your using 5w-30 and when the engine gets warm it knocks it means either the oil is to thin or oil is not getting to that component. next oil chenge try using the lucas oil stablizer and see what it does. It should solve the problem but remember lucas oil oil stablizer takes the place of one quart of oil.
as it works or moves it gets hot and eventually over heats. think of it as a human running the person eventually gets hot
why the engine gets hot when i turn on the AC.in Chevy astro van.
Have it looked at by a mechanic.

your thermostat could be wearing out. what happens then is that it wont open until the engine gets abnormally hot, then as the coolant flows through the engine, it gets cooler, and so it closes, then once it gets real hot again, it opens. so on and so forth. steinbacher682@hotmail.com
The engine will seize and lock up way before it gets hot enough to turn oil to ash.

Because the engine gets too hot. Let it cool down before you start it up again. Poor water on it.
