funny knocking sound on 7mge

If it sounds like there is a little man in the engine tapping with a hammer, then its likely a valve lifter.

Do a compression check on all the cylinders to see if one cylinder is low. That will likely be the one with the noise.

If it is a deeper sounding knock, then those are usually a rod bearing.
