Is your oil pressure ok? Does it knock at all temps? Does it quiet down as it warms up? How long has this been going on, and did it come on gradually or suddenly. Was oil level checked and changed regularly?
Maybe some bad gas if it is knocking at all temps and came on suddenly. Usually bad/worn bearings are accompanied by low oil pressure which you did not mention.
