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.

Like I said earlier, rod knock=engine rebuild. Nothing else will help!

thanks for all the input guys, i appreciate it a lot.

oddly enough, I havent heard anything from the engine in a day or two since I posted my problem. kinda odd for it to not be there anymore. but I am definetly keeping an ear out for the noise.
