You know, like

Just Curious...
Instantaneous damage is highly unlikely. However, engines have moving parts (as I'm sure you know) that are most often a metal surface moving across another metal surface. Even with good lubricants, this causes wear over time, and frequent "anti-social behavior" (thanks Number 3) can accelerate that wear.

However, if your car has an issue that is causing knock, you can very rapidly cause massive engine damage. Proper maintenance and a bit of prudence with any modding should prevent any knocking though.
