grib Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I run my 240 on unleaded (50:1 Castrol TTS) and only get a knock very occasionally. It could be a build up of carbon in the cylinder head if it has been run with too much oil in the past, or if the head has ben skimmed there could be too much compression which could be cured with a thicker/extra head gasket.

A compression test is a bit pointless, if you suspect low compression put in a new ring, if you put in a new ring replace the small end bearing at the same time and when you have the barrel off you can check the big end at the same time.
