Is this real knock?

Everytime I do a pull, I always get a different pattern of knock. Simple question that I cannot answer. Does this mean it is something else that could be causing knock?
 
A few things can cause PK but most of the time its just a loose (torque spec is 17 ft/lbs) or bad (black goo out of the back) knock sensor.

Posting a log would help too.

:dsm:
 
Here is 6 logs, I have tried all sorts of things. Leaner, richer, retard timing, advance timing, Stock maps. All of it and I still receive knock.

So I am thinking something mechanical is causing it. Or I am doing something wrong in DSMLink.

When reviewing, please remember to check timing tables and fuel sliders because they were always being changed.

Edit: Reason that I never really finished a pull is because I have my CEL come on at 2 degrees of knock, when I see that on the dash I let of the throttle. For safety reasons, I don't like taking too many chances.

Do you want me to go capture say 5 pulls all with the same setting?
