Default Engine Knock

Hi Guys I have 3 AU's 1 1999 Fairlane V8, 1 !999 LTD 6, and 1 2000 LTD V8
The 2000 LTD has a light knock mainly noticable at idle and usually after a service. It sounds like a big end knock but is intermitent. It started at around 70,000k's now done 130,000k's but still about the same loudness. I took it to ford they heard it put it up on the hoist got under to listen and it stopped and thats how it is, sometimes it knocks sometimes it doesn't. The 99 V8 has done 105,000k's and if I listen real hard I can imagine that I hear the same knock occasionally. Has anyone else had this problem? This knock does go away after a few thousand k's after servicing. I suggested a different grade of oil but the powers that be tell me they are using the right stuff.
