Im not sure if someone mentioned this to you or not, but the ECU is adjusting the timing, which is causing the valve knocks.

Best thing to do, if you have not done it already is Unplug the negative cable from the batter overnight, not just 1hr, overnight. That will reset the ECU and will allow it to RElearn everything and should possibly fix the timing issue.
