Default Engine Knock

hey i was wondering if anyone would be able to tell the causes of an engine knock? because my blazer has been sitting in my garage for about 5 or 6 years and it does start but the engine knocks when its running and when i rev the engine the knocking gets louder and some people have told me it could be my rod bearing and other people have told me it could be the 6 year old gas and oil that's in it. so if anyone knows anything about this problem please give me your input. thank you

If it is a hard knock and not a tap or ping, then you likely have bottom end damage.

Why don't you change the oil & filter & put in fresh gas & see what it does.
