Default Knocking 94 xj...

Story goes that the kid who I’m buying from got it, put a new motor in and then it blew again... this being the second time. The noise sounds like top end to me, maybe a broken piston skirt... but it has great oil pressure which it shows in the video, and above 2k rpm the noise goes away and it sounds like a normal 4.0... any ideas? And also, the motor looks to be a 96+ to me? Any input on that too
