My guess would be a bent connecting rod, won't show any metal in the oil but gives a similar sound to a bad bearing. If you do a full compression test you should be able to find the cylinder that is effected and verify with a 90 degree camera borescope that it's not reaching full TDC. Cylinder may show additional signs of wear too.
