Adrian:
Probably not cheap but don't jump to conclusions till you have pinpointed the
knocking with a stethoscope or broom handle. Knocking is usually worse than
pecking, but it may not be the engine. You might remember my knocking sound
that ended up being a loose flywheel. Engine pull, but lots easier and less
expensive than an engine rebuild.
