Changed plugs now my engine is knocking
So I changed my plugs tonight and I took it for a spirited drive and now my engine is knocking. Limped it home, checked the oil and it was near empty. It knocks over 2k rpm. No codes are thrown, I'm going to throw some oil in it tomorrow and see what happens. Pretty sure it's broken though :/

Not sure what to do from here... LS1 swap? I have an 08 35S, maybe a vq37? |
Wow... how you lose all that oil? No warning lights?

Are there any signs of oil leaks in your engine bay?

I find it amazing that some never check their oil. Telcoman |
So it's just coincidence that it started knocking when you changed the plugs? That is, plugs really have nothing to do with the rod knock...
What was the condition of the old plugs? Wet, dry, color? |

How come you didn't check your oil prior to replacing the plugs?

Sounds like it's toast :icon43:
Maybe you can locate a lower mileage salvage motor, or maybe, just maybe, something occurred that can be fixed at minimal cost. Good luck & sorry to hear of your dilemma. |

You should change the title of this thread to "Never checked my oil, car now knocks." Changing the plugs has nothing to do with you ruining a perfectly good engine that now knocks. Telcoman |
Not questioning anyones mechanical ability but a loose spark plug can & will make a disturbing knocking/ticking/pinging sound that is similar to a death rattle. Did you happen to have any trouble with removing or installing any of the plugs, like cross threaded or anything? Good luck.
