What did you do that would have caused the motor to blow? No oil? It's probably dead. Over heated? Probably a head gasket, maybe the head. If it still turns over, will it run? If it has oil and water and will run, check the oil, if it is a head gasket or the head, the oil may look like chocolate milk. It may put clouds of white smoke out the exhaust or if you take the radiator cap off, water will shoot out of the radiator. All of these mean head gasket or head. Knocking is probably a rod bearing bad.
