How bad of a metallic knock are we talking about? Mine had one from the time I got the car in 2000. Changing injectors, etc did not help. That sound was the connecting rod bearings giving way. Engine held together for 50,000 miles before depositing pieces in the oil pan. At over 200,000 miles and no service records, I would be concerned. Do take the car for a mechanical inspection. I now know what a healthy OM 617.952 sounds like. A really loud knock is a sign of trouble.
