Don't mean to be beating a dead horse to death...but its a killer.

That's the noise a bearing makes after its shreded and it spinning around the crank journal...

Assuming you didn't continue running it very long, and completely destroy the bearing and crank like I had to, it might be fixable. Mine scratched out the crank to the point we just replaced the motor. this was the bearings after I had to drive it home off the highway and then another 15 miles back to work the next day. All in all about 25 miles after I noticed the clanking.

New to me motor that was thoroughly checked over is rocking strong 12k later *fingers still crossed*

I have them sitting on my comp tower at home fitted together, the ends happen to overlap the others to hold themselves together nicely... scary as that is lol, nice little keep sake
