I have a similar issue occurring with my 6.5" Intes MAK. I checked the meniscus as per Israel's helpful instructions but the clunking sound still continues.Try checking the retaining ring for the secondary mirror, this ring holds the secondary to the meniscus. Check link read bottom paragraphs.I haven't tried this yet, but this just might be whats going on. My MAK makes this clunking sound when pointed vertically and when placed flat.

"First night images were excellent and I was very happy with my purchase. I noticed a clanking noise when I turned the scope 180 degrees. This was traced to a loose retaining ring that holds the secondary in the corrector plate. I snugged down the threads to just finger tight and touched up the collimation. Skies were cloudy for most of that spring - I couldn't get good observations of Jupiter and Saturn, so I've waited a couple of years to write up my assessment."
