Default AUII 5litre V8 knock sound in motor

Has anyone exprerienced a knocking sound in the 5 litre V8. It occurs when idling and after the motor has warmed up. It sounds like a big end type of knock. It has done 90 thousand. It disappears just off idle and the motor is quiet as a mouse when cold. I've been told it is common and is the timing gear. Temp. and Oil pressure is excellent. Any ideas?
