    I would get onto it quick, or soon its going to go bang ?

    Oh yeah I forgot whats your oil pressure like ? If you dont have aguage in the car, just fit one of those dirrect reading mechanics oil pressure guages where the electric oil sender is. I would go with pulling the plug wires on those cylinders untill the knock dissapears and checking your oil pressure as confirmation. Your oil pressure should read 50 to 60 PSI with astock bottom end. And if/when you pull the motor down replace the oil pump. hope this helps some. S
