Cherokee knocking

Shut off while out wheelin oil pressure was normal ... It shut off and knocks really bad while I'm cranking it and won't start ... So I'm wondering if it's the motor or flywheel ??????

My guess is the flywheel, take the torque converter cover off and take a look.

If in doubt where the noise is coming from, take a long extension, or screw driver, or? and put your ear up to one end while placing the other on parts of the motor (poor man stethoscope) and figure out what part is loudest, the valve cover, the oil pan, the timing chain cover etc. (be careful with running motor obviously)
