Clunking sounds like pistons and valves mate. Did you turn it over by hand first?

Only reason I can think of

I'd be very careful. If things are hitting turning it over is not good

When my water pump and cambelt went on my old 1.2 8v, I bent 3 valves, all these people saying it's a "safe" engine are full of shit
