For the knocking issue - As said above, is it a ticking or knocking noise?
Also if you can't remember or don't know when the valves were last adjusted, do them anyway.
Just remember that the F series engines do have some form of piston slap, which is often amplified when the engine is cold - Does it still knock when the engine is warmed up?

For your boost/vac gauge - You can use any of the ports on the intake manifold side of the T/B - There is usually a spare port in the Plenum which you can tap into

Yes the oil pressure sender can be fitted to the port above the oil filter, just note that once you take out the oem sender the oil light will not work. If you keep an eye on your gauges regularly its not too much of an issue, other wise I recommend getting a "T" fitting so you can have the light and the gauge.

thanks again, ill get back to you about the knocking noise as im in school right now, but for the boost/ vac gauge i tapped it into one of the vac lines that use to plug into the stock intake but now with my aem one i dont need it anymore and i plugged the boost gauge to that but it does not have enough vac to push the gauge. can you show me a pic and tell me what vac line you are talking about?

as for the oil pressure gauge im not worried about the engine oil light and i will just keep an eye out on my gauge but where else could i put the oil pressure sender besides the spot above the oil filter? i cannout get the bolt for that thing out so im trying to find a different spot to put the sender.

My 96 Accord has had an engine knock from the time I bought it with 45k miles until now with almost 230,000 miles. Engine is still going strong. When I first had it diagnosed, I was told it could be anything from piston slap, wrist pin knock to a rod knock. I started using Mobil 1 synthetic 10w30 in the engine and changed it every 3k miles. I'm glad I didn't discard the motor, I'm sure it will make 300,000 miles and might even keep going beyond that... It also made a ticking/tapping noise. Was definitely a noisy engine, but damn it would run!
