If it's really a rod knock I wouldn't give it much more than a month, if that long. Certainly not a year. If it just rapped lightly a couple of times on start up, maybe. But if it's knocking under load, I don't see any way it can go a year. If it's a main bearing instead of a rod, a year might be possible. Don't push it too far. If the rod breaks and locks up the engine (pretty unlikely, as it will usually punch holes in the block first), it won't do your driveline any favors.
