how is the oil pressure? have you had any tranny work done recently? May also be a cracked flex plate... I know it is best to assume the worst and hope for the best but IMO might be good to check out all options before pulling the motor...

I bet it's a broken flex plate, not a blown engine. For the crank or rods to be smacking the pan, you WOULD know for sure the engine is blown and have a huge oil/water mess and rough running.

I still think you should check the flex plate.

The flex plate connects the crankshaft to the transmission's torque converter.
Do you have the Jeep in a shop? Is the mechanic telling you the engine is blown?
