Read each link in section 6 subsection A:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dorothy.bradbury/probemx/
It covers the main reasons you may hear knock in a MX3 V6. Also not covered there is timing belt tensioner arm noise which sounds like a diesel engine when it begins to fail, and the noise would be coming from the passenger side of the engine.
