Rod Knock

As far as retarding the timing goes it may be a long shot but the knock sensor detects knock and retards the timing. WHen the knock sensor malfunctions it will throw a check engine light and retard the timing 10 degrees. If your knock sensor is fine and you still get a knock then retarding the timing probably won't help. You might have to dig into the block to fix it.
