Change to a higher viscosity oil and see if you can get the knocking to be a little quieter, you might get quite a few miles if you don't over-rev it and drive real easy.

Will your engine knock if your try to drive it and you have a blown piston ring on a 1988 Chevy Silverado?

A bad ring would probably chatter in the cylinder and cause serious oil consumption. Knocking would most likely be either bearings (typically rod) or piston slap which is a common trait of a 350. Piston slap isn't serious as long as it clears up within a few seconds of starting the engine. Rod knocking means you get to rebuild/replace the engine or wait for a rod to go through the side.

What causes a knocking sound when you turn your car?

Probably you have a bad tie rod (maybe both). You can find it on eBay (around $50.00 L&R). Knocking when turning on front wheel drive is most likely the knuckle on the axle. Look at the rubber boot on the end and I will bet it is split.
