Hi Steve, You will normally hear a little valve noise on these since they don't have hydraulic lifters, but not too much I guess. I have found that the rocker arm tips do wear, making valve adjustment difficult if not impossible. If it's a deeper knock though you may be into main or big end bearings, and it's probably wise to deal with them before they score thae crank, if they haven't already. You can change the big end bearings just by dropping the oil pan but for the mains you have to split the tractor. (You can take the cap off the centre one to take a look without splitting it.) I guess what I'm saying is I doubt the knock is fuel. I am running regular gas from the local corner station, don't know the octane rating. I'm sure it's the same as what you would have there though. Try using a length of tubing with one end in your ear to pinpoint the location of the knock. If it's up higher perhaps it's piston slap. Whatever, I think you're in for a bit of work. (Of course this all assumes the timing is set and the problem persists.) Jim
