my car wont start, and not because the starter is fucked, cause it is, but this isnt it, its turning over, and then i get a loud knocking, not, i checked the dip stick, and the oil was barly touching the buttom so im like OH **** my pistons are seized. But, i added only 2 liters and its now almost full so wtf? we take 6 liters!!!. Anyways, whats wrong with my car ? did i seize the pistons? could it be the ignition, or spark plugs or something? to me, it feels like its trying to push the pistons up and down and cant, it like stutters and trys to start but doesnt get anything going.... help me be straight with me, i need to know if im fucked or what.

I also want to know what i would need to replace if it is the worst, diamond pistons, cylinders? rods? connectors? like whats it gonna realistically cost me here ? . obviously im modded heavily, and i dont think going to stock would make a difference, however, i never got a warning the oil was low, but how could it have been if it only took 2 liters to almost fill it? im confused please help me!!!!
