Hi Ken,

First make sure where your knock is coming from. Could be nothing more than a bad injector causing the knock.

Blow-by? Some diesel designs, like my 7.3 PSD, and the 5.9 Cummins, have a positive pressure crankcase so that would dump some blow-by without being anything wrong.

Buy a manual and get some tests done then you will know where you stand.

Since your planning on getting rid of her I would just repair what is needed since you will take a hit on other major repairs having to be done with the new owner.
