It's definitely a clunker.

tell him to pull the valve cover

Sounds like no oil pressure and the lifter collapsed and a torn rod bearing on that cylinder

First video sounds like a rod knock and broke piston

OK update.....
he has oil pressure. Ok i will have him pull the valve cover. What should he look for under there.

Also what would you suggest be done.

Hey i resemble that Remark..i did run them in the past with Open valve covers when adjusting Hydraulic lifters...then i got smart and cut the center out of old valve covers...lot less messy...

Stay away from the engine D....Too many out there to choose from

OK tomorrow he is going to video the engine running with the valve cover off. That way you can get an inside look at it.
