so I've noticed knocking before from my motor (5sfe) and it has been doing so for a while. Today, after leaving my driveway for work, I heard a loud pop and now the motor is making a really awful sound. I parked it and popped the hood and a spark plug wire and spark plug were pretty much sitting on top of the head. There was plenty of smoke but I could not immediately identify any oil (I had to get to work, so just left it there). I'm thinking I blew a rod bearing, but I'm not sure if that's exactly the situation. Anyone have any thoughts?

an engine running without a sparkplug WILL make an ungodly sound as the piston forces air in/out of the cyl through the spark plug hole. get a new plug on there and try running it again. i would think the "knocking" you heard was actually gasses escaping the cyl as well before it finally let go.
