who's there?
The problem is when this sound suddenly stops..
its not easy to repair holes in engine blocks.
best advised you check this out immediatly. because the cost of repair may
exponentially follow the cost of procrastination. the cost may initially be no
more than a set of bearings, if you catch the problem now.
Rod is a fair guess, but first..hows your oil psi?
how many hours/miles on the engine?
oil pump in good order?
could be a little piston slap..loose wrist pin.
can even be something like a loose rod cap.
is it more of a "detonation" knock?
is it comming from the bottom or top?
could it be a loose rocker? bent pushrod? (these are more "clicky than knocky)
an angry gnome?

A quiet knocking sound when the engine is cool that turns into a loud
knocking sound when the engine is hot (thinner oil) is probably a rod,
or otherwise not cheap, right?
