Definitely get a second opinion, and I'd recommend towing it there. If the dealer can't tell you where it's coming from other than the engine block and you need a new engine they have no idea what the hell is going on.It could actually be your TIMING BELT TENSIONER!!! When the belt was serviced at 60k (assuming you haven't done the 120k belt job yet) were the tensioners replaced as well? Maybe you shouldn't run the engine at all and tow it to your trusted mechanic and have him inspect the timing belt area. You're due for a new one anyway... The V6 engines aren't really known for having internal problems like bad bearings or rods which would create a knocking sound. Please keep us posted and good luck!
