99 ford explorer xlt
So I just purchased a 99 ford explorer I was aware of the broken radiator and I know it pisses our coolant but also the motor has a slight knock in it ? Could thetwo be related or do I have a bigger problem on my hands

Its 99 explorer 5.0 v8 xlt
 






The only relationship I can think of is that the previous owner let the coolant get low and over heated the engine. Any sign of coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant? Either will say 'head gasket'. Coolant in the oil might mean crank bearing.
