I was driving on the freeway and the car just turn off on me, so i turn it back on while driving and got off the freeway to a nearby parking lot. alright now i could hear clicking / knocking noise sounds inside the motor. When I rev the clicking / knocking get faster. I been looking on forums but im not 100% sure whats is the problems is. I heard it could be the rod bearing or the valves and even a blown gasket.
here is the short clip of the motor clicking / knocking.

Did you have enough oil in the motor?
Sounds like rod bearing failure to me.
Check for metal in the oil. You can also kill power to the plug one by one to see if the knocking goes away, that way you can narrow it down.

rod bearing - HELL YES
valves - check compression, if all is the same then you know its G
blown gasket - highly unlikey but you should be able to tell usually..
check the oil pan for coolant?
hope it helps, and good luck bro
