Engine knock

What would make the engine knock? Just had it rebuilt & it knocks under the slightest load. Knocked before but only when I pressed the accelerator real hard. Not very pleased with this situation. Anybody got any ideas. Thanks

The first thing to try is higher octane gas. If its knocking that much though, it sounds like your timing is probably off.
