If it is a stuck lifter, you can use half a quart of transmission fluid added to the oil to help brake it up. Don't run it too long with it in their because it brakes down the oil too. Or take the valve covers off and find out witch one it is.

They also make sea foam that should do the same thing. Like $10 at auto zone.

And lifter would be more of a click not a knock. Knocks are bad.
