It can happen anytime on stock or non stock engine. Just depends how you drive it. If you go all out 5th gear you'll probably spin a bearing. Flywheel and all that really doesn't matter to much.

You can chance it by replacing and filling but like ultra stated. I highly highly recommend having a shop vacuum it or you can rent one from autozone with a gauge set for around 200.

Seems like it overheated and split the block halves. Thats my guess. And if it's knocking. Well Cross your fingers but you probably need a new engine.
