At around 6pm or so I went to put a little oil in the engine than around 11pm the car started acting funny like it wanted to cut off. I pop the hood and realize I left the oil cap off. I top off the oil and than put the oil cap BACK ON. I went to start it and the knocking started.... Did the rod go because I forgot to put the oil cap back on?
BTW... Looking for a 3sgte, anyone around philly have one? -------------------- Celica *The Baby Supra*

IMO I dont think you could throw enough oil out the top (without it being very obvious like splashed on the windsheld and smoke dumping out the bay, your talking like 4 quarts of oil splashing around the bay and burning on the exhaust.) to cause the motor harm, unless you were really ridding it hard and not paying attention. could have been anything making the knocking sound but I would do as stephen_lee and let it sit overnight then have someone else start the car while your ear is on the motor listening, if it knocks have it checked agian, if not keep an eye on it and hope for the best.
