I need you to try something. Remove the serp belt and start the engine to see if the sound is gone. NOTE: Only run the engine for a few seconds to see if the sound it gone. Do Not run it longer than needed. It will overheat again.

If it sounds outside of the engine, chances are it is one of the accessories.

Let me know what you find.

If the noise goes away when you remove the wire, then my guess is a rod bearing or wrist pin is bad.

I wish I had better news.

A friend had a 1997 Ford Explorer with 215,000 kms given to her and 1 month later she started the vehicle to warm it up and 10 min later the engine was knocking and oil was sprayed all over under the hood. The temperature was -15C that day. Is there anything problem areas that can fail to cause this problem? I was asked to take a look at it between Christmas and Newyears to see if I can see what failed.
Thanks for any tips.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I need to know where the oil was straying from. If there was a knock, chances are a low oil level cause a bearing issue. As far as the leak, again, I need to know where it is coming from.
