Welcome to 2CarPros.

A loud knocking from the engine is usually a crankshaft main bearing or a connecting rod bearing. Make sure the oil is clean and full. Then, read through this link. It discusses the most common causes of an engine noise.

Read through that link and see if anything mirrors what you are experiencing. Let me know if I can help in any way.

Take care,
Joe
