You need to get the prechamber out (or at least get the bits of glowplug out) and verify that you do not have metal chunks bouncing around in the cylinder -- you will end up with a bent rod and piston damage.
A broken off glow plug will cause a severe injector knock, clearly localized in the pre-chamber area.
A loud knock below the head, definitely in the upper block, NOT the head and NOT the bottom, is a bad wrist pin bushing.
If you ran it any length of time without oil pressure, the main bearings would knock -- a very deep, definite clank, not a snap or clack noise. Probably can be rebuilt if that is the case, unless you spun a main. Main or crankpin bearing knock is definitely in the lower block, deep sound.
