Knocking noise? No oil!
What could it be? horrible knocking noise, sounds like it's coming from where the cams are, as rpm increases, the knock increases in speed.
There was no oil in the car, took a few litres to fill it up.

what car is it?
if its a top end rattle then it could be that the hydraulic tappets need filling with oil again, like a zetec for example
if its bottom end you may get away with new bearings and a crank polish, but budget for a regrind
to check for big ends, rev it to about 3krpm and lift off, it will rattle as it deaccelerates if its the big ends
