99 explorer engine knocking

My engine ran hot and all the water ran dry...now after changing the water pump and thermastat, the engine is knocking. What could it be? Also, I changed the oil.

Good chance you did some damage to the motor when it was overheated. Could be bearings, could be top end, hard to say exactly.
