I was driving to work this morning and the car started to knock and miss. # 6 plug blew out. The problem is why the knocking? I don't want to go to the time and expense of the timesert kit if the engine is bad.

See if you can get your hands on a scope and check if there's any debris in the cylinder: http://www.harborfreight.com/digital-inspection-camera-67979.html

the plug is rattling around loose in the cam cover most likely.

Mine knocked a little too. It went away the first time, second time the plug blew out, it didn't go away.
