This is not a repair forum. You might want to try a site like DSMtuners or DSMtalk.
Eclipse's are known to have Lifter issues however Lifters do not generally cause "Knocking" noises. Knocking noises are usually in the bottom end and could be any thing from a spun bearing, a bent rod, a collapesed or damaged piston.
But with out physically inspecting the vehical it could be any thing. You may be able to find a reputable DSM mechanic in your area on the sites listed above.
Good luck!!!
FWIW I use to have 96 GSX that I purchased from a customer. It was a fun car but very expensive... -
