Need you to answer the rest of my questions so that I can get a better picture of what is happening.
Is it currently knocking right now with 87 and 87 tune? Are you only experiencing this knock on hot days?
I will look into the fan settings and thermostat.

until yesterday
I was running the 87 tune, with 87 gas, and with the cold weather I had very minimal knocking, only if I sat idling for a very long time I would get slight knock, but once I got some cold air moving over her ( I assume a colder charge in the air intake) It was gone..
In the summer when it got hot however I it was hard to stop it from knocking unless I was easy on it, or higher rpm.. Also if I was idling for a long time, then I rev'd it quick it would knock for a second.

Take a look at the user manual, what does it recommend for changing fan values. I ask this because I do not have a manual to look at.
Cheers
