Is diesel Knock harmful to the engine?
Do you mean at idle and light running, or when "tuning"?
The former, no - assuming it is actually the fuelling and not an actual mechanical issue, the latter is usually as a result of over-advanced injector timing, and is like over-advanced ignition, which is a bad thing.
