Very difficult to diagnose sounds on a forum, but it is quite possible either the main crank bearings or conrod bigend bearings got damaged or even lifters in the head or the head and cam itself.

Describe the noise in better detail or better yet, take a video of the noise and upload to Youtube and put the link here.

Ok boet i shall do that its like a tapet noise but at a bigger scale you hear it when on 3rd gear under 60km/h but when going towards 100km/h noise fades away
