Default Engines knocking......

Knowing that water gets the combustion camber sparkling clean, I decided to steam clean the inside of the motor. I drained the oil from the car, put on a new oil filter and filled up the car with 5 quarts of high quality distilled water. I figured the water would remove any crud and grime left in the motor and make everything shiny new. I drove the car for about 45 minutes, in that, I wanted to heat up the water so it would power through any grime. I got home and changed out the polluted water and oil filter. I filled it up with 5 quarts of Mobil 1 and started it up. It knocked so loud my neighbor came over and ask me if I had installed a diesel in the car. Can someone help me? Why is my car knocking so loud? Did I remove too much grime from inside the engine?

It's just like this story about the failed port and polish attempt by sucking 25 lbs of sand thru a running engine. Oldie but a goodie

What did you do? Let me get this straight.... you basically drained the oil out of your car and filled it up with water instead of new oil? Then drove it? Really???? That is what your post sounds like you said.
