Streetzlegend- I honestly couldn't tell top or bottom. I literally put my ear to the oil pan and still couldn't pinpoint the sound. Going to go buy a mechanic's stethascope I guess.
Whoojong- Negative on the smoke out of tailpipe.
Tehkmob- Other than that little bit on the cap, my coolant looks crystal clear like green gatorade. Nor am I seeing a mass of bubbles in my oil (water). A compression test I have yet to do and I think my oil pressure is a little over 30 when warmed up. Tehkmob you feel that my 0w-40 M1 is not thick enough oil? As I understand it is one of the best for FI.
I also ran a magnet all through the oil in that plastic can there and came up with nothing. And that is my oil after 1500 miles aprox.

It can still be a spun bearing, actually dosnt have to be a spun bearing, it can be a bent rod like mine had. Everything was absolutely perfect, except for the faint sound (faint at first). Did you see if the noise was louder from the bottom of the car?
I dont think you should turn this motor on anymore unless you narrow down exactly what it is. and if you do turn it on, just idle for a couple min's but no driving.

So what next?
Pull off the upper oil pan and take off each rod cap?

well, once you take off the upper oil pan, move the rods side to side or up n down to see if there is play, front to back (pushing them towards front of motor and back) will have play which is normal, very minimal though so dont worry about that. the play you dont want is up down.
Also since you will have the motor basically taken apart, put a ratchet on the crank pulley and tun the crank back n forward as well, to see if you can hear the tap at the bearing(s)
