I installed new orings and glow plugs today in my e99 7.3. After the injector install and before putting in glow plugs I bumped the motor with the harness disconnected and shot all the oil out of the cylinders. I wasn't expecting such a huge mess but after that the motor cranked freely. I put everything back together and it took a while to start but it finally started. It runs rough and has a knock. I let it idle for about ten min. Then drive it. It has low power and smokes white smoke like crazy. Did I kill it? What should I look at to fix this?
