Once you get rod knock, the only solution is to disassemble the engine and have the crank machined and inspected along with the rods and caps matched to the new size.
Source: Two days ago I caused a bearing cap to eject out of an engine block by 'making sure' the knocking noise was actually a real engine knock. I had done one of these 'forum expert opinion repairs' which involves installing new rod bearings and a tune-up.
