Get it hot so the oil thins a little then listen to it. If it knocks when you load it up or when you throttle it up quick it is a rod bearing. At least in my experience.

Do something about it before you have a rod make an escape attempt or the crank is too abused to reuse. If it is knocking the crank will need ground.
