Never said you were stupid, but to tell someone that has, what they think, is a rod knock to go out and drive it hard and that they have nothing to lose is a little uneducated IMO.

Alright man.. I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you over the internet. I just don't think I would EVER tell anyone to take the car out and drive it hard to try to figure out why it's knocking. (end point) 
OP, if it ever starts knocking, I would suggest not driving it anymore, especially hard driving, but that's just me. However, I doubt it would start knocking just from being towed.

You came out insulting someone in regards to a situation he thought might have screwed up his engine. There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. Which you _more_ than proved me correct.
God this forum is going to dogshit, people like you need to jump off a cliff.
OP, glad this got cleared up.

Thanks guys. I didn't even drive it; just started it and the knock was gone. I was thinking that putting it on the ramp might have pushed the oil over a baffle and it wasn't reaching the front oiler or something. Letting it sit overnight cleared up the knock. I just finished driving it and no issues.
BTW - I would not have driven it if it was still knocking. 57 years old, 3rd vette. Built my 1st engine at 16. Not stupid, just looking for possible answer to a wierd problem.
Next - tackle the C1214 code. Traction Control Module.

Hey i was right so go cry to your momma. rod bearings don't just go out from a ride on a tow truck and you sure as hell won't have 50 psi oil pressure when one does. Anyone that would post up such bs is just full-o-crap. Ask the op if i was right...he was ready to loose his mind over a piece of carbon.

Hotsilver, there is no way to tell if you were right or wrong, you took a guess.. his problem has went away, obviously doesn't mean a rod. On the otherhand you shouldnt be taking credit for something you think you might be right about, especially not bragging like you are for absoluteky no reason.
You came in here being an *** and are still continuing it, you won't last very long doing that. That is if you aren't previously banned member to begin with.
Just chill out a bit man.

Last year HotSilverBird and I went on a trip to Haiti. He said "Hey Tom, you should totally go bang that hooker without a condom; I do it all the time, it's coo." I voiced my objections and he said "BS! You know NOTHING! Just DO IT!" So I did and guess what? I did not get the AIDS. The man is a GENIUS!
