That  is just "too long", Mike.

All you gents have missed something rather important, IMHO.

...but the knocking precludes that.

As in rod or main knock ??  spun a main bearing --- # 3 or 4 ??

There should be NO 'knock' even at 15 seconds ! ! !  Personally,  I 
would stop even trying
to start it; drop the pan and check ALL bearing starting with Mains.   
PITA, but it can be
done <G>.

You might try one thing which may/may not help.  Go to my site  and 
--->"Various Articles"
--->Compression Test for 4 cyls.  Run the Test (with coil disconnected 
<G>), fill out, Scan
and send to me.  I'll 'plug your #s' in and return.  "Might" show a 
'weakness'.
I'll also put up on my site for all to view.
