Look at the old ones and make sure nothin broke off. If not, you may have had something fall down into the cylinder. I would not run it again until you know for sure. May have to rent a scope to look into the spark plug holes.

Could you possible be able to mix up wires going to the COPS causing 2 of them to fire at the wrong time ???

Does it run OK other than the knock??
