Lost oil, now its knocking
Started a street tune on my car yesterday and once we got it about where it needed to be I took the tuner home and headed to work. On my way to work I heard a knock, and it got louder. I pulled into work and checked my oil... It was very low. I had just checked the oil a couple days ago and it was fine and I hadnt driven it since then. I called a friend and he brought me some oil, it took two quarts to fill it back up.
About the knock. I cant hear it at idle and it is most noticable at around 2000 rpms under a load. Sounds like its comming from the valver cover and it sounds almost hollow, like somethings hitting the valve cover.

Check your spark plugs and make sure they're tight (I had a similar problem and a loose plug was causing it) and check for an exhaust leak. I would do those before pulling the valve cover.

idle is still choppy as **** due to the MS4 but oil pressure is normal. Springs are double .650 lift springs, pushrods are the hardened ones texas speed gives with the package.
