So is your knock still there or just the miss? Sometimes when the timing is off you'll get a "ping" that sounds like a knock but I have no idea how relivant that is?

Does the knock occur at all engine speeds?

Is it a rapid knock / Click or a steady knock / click?

my 3.8 had a valve tick, at idle you could hear it, but anything over like 1500 RPMs, you'd hear the exhaust over it.
