    Knocking in the engine? Hmmmm
    Start from the top down with your diagnosis
    1) knocking is usually caused by damaged or sticking valves
    Depending on the engine if its OHC an old school way of checking this is to remove the valve cover then start the engine to see if valves are sticking

    I agree with bigtookautotech, but I also have a question, Is it knocking like someone hitting the inside of the engine with a hammer and gets louder when you accelerate, or is it making a ticking sound that stays the same throughout the RPM range? If its knocking then you could have a worn out connecting rod bearing, crankshaft bearing or cracked piston. If it's ticking then it's probably in your valve train (sticking valves, worn out lifters)
