2015 is the newer LT engine I believe. you're in the older ls section. having never worked on a LT. i can only guess. but I've seen torque converter bolts left loose that sound like a knocking, and or pinched wiring harness between engine and bell housing. that caused codes, but I don't know about knocking.

Torque converter bolts tight?
@soulsea @Fless @07Burb @Miami-Dade can one of you guys get this thread merged with his other thread?
My first rule of troubleshooting is look at the work that was done right before a problem started. As mentioned, check your torque converter bolts.
Even seasoned mechanics miss things so just recheck everything you just touched.
I would also check all harness connections to make sure something didn’t come unplugged or get pinched/damaged.
It would be strange, not impossible, but strange, for a lifter to go bad right after you did all the work you did with no prior signs of trouble.
Other than the knocking sound, does the vehicle run smooth or does it have a lot of vibration?

No worries. Its a common misstep and not a big deal. When it happens, just let us know and we can move the thread to the right location
New update, checked new oil filter and it was wrong, marked pf63, but inside was wrong, so quick check installed old filter and 85% noise gone, check codes p0300 only, lightly raised rpm 2000 rpm and pop noise and knock gone but light missfires #2,3,8 only, check plugs looks good but p0300 only ,don't know what's going on.
If the wrong oil filter caused oil delivery issues like it sounds, you might have scuffed the cam and or lifters. I have seen cam lobes on the LT engine barely have damage you can feel with your finger, yet be enough to throw misfires.
