My mechanic tested the timing and said it was advanced 45 degrees. The car ran perfect and powerful but the knocking. He adjusted the timing to 7 degree advanced and made the car run worst (less powerful)and knocking still. I use 10w30 oil and high octane. I ran out of solution for this car. In addition, my mechanic replaced the lifters of this car in the road to resolve the problem but the car is still knocking.
