depends if the knock is originating from the water pump. start the car, pop the hood, and use a long screwdriver or a SOLID bar, not hollow, and place one end of it on the water pump. have someone mess with the throttle trying to get the loudest sound, and put your ear to the screwdriver or bar. when you have found the knock, it will resonate right through the screwdriver or bar and you'll hear it plain as day.
