what would be an average estimate of a rod knock fix? How much would a shop probably charge vs how much would it cost to fix myself

For the past 6 months my car has made a ticking/pinging noise from the engine while accelerating (up hills especially). It's a light, fast paced ticking/pinging almost certainly some sort of fuel/air mixture/ignition timing problem. The car idles and cruises fine with no pinging noise. It's a...
