When does it knock? Constantly or just at start-up?

Many of these engines have a condition known as "piston slap" taht occurs momentarily after start-up. While it may be annoying, it supposedly doesn't hurt anything.

If you need a new engine, you're probably looking at no less than $4K.

Probably pretty slim if it's really major, but it doesn't hurt to ask as they might have some sort of goodwill program. I think you need to pinpoint the problem before asking for a new engine though.
