Drove about 20km down the road and I can hear a knocking sound above 3000 rpm. So drove it home slowly (<1500 rpm) and am assessing options.

Given that I put 4 litres of oil into it (it holds 6 litres) then it was extremely low. And it could have been like that for a while (I just completed a 350km trip on the day I first noticed it).

At the moment I'm guessing I've ruined something and am looking at options for swapping the engine from my parts car into this car.

This one has 343,000km on it, the parts engine has 167,000, so a much younger engine anyway.

Any tips for what I should be checking/replacing on the replacement engine before it is fitted would be welcome.

Thanks
