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.
