Pull a coil off, rev to ~3k, check for noise, repeat for each cylinder. If the noise goes away for one of the cylinders, now you know you spun that bearing. Worked for me when I spun a bearing on my m20.

You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man. -
Lets jot down his symptoms and notes:
- He replaced the rod bearings some km's ago. (Possibly not enough oil clearance which caused the bearing to fail or incorrect amount of torque for the bolts)
- Is not as bad cold compared to when warmed up
- Increases loudness as rpms rises.
Sadly enough it seems like to me your rod bearings are out. It would probably be wise NOT to start your motor anymore. Rather, pull the pan like someone suggested and check it out.

alittle quicker way to find the noise than going and buying a stethascope(yeah its miss spelled.. i think) is just hold a screwdriver up to your ear and point it around on the engine at differant angles, it works really well, youll most likely be able to find which cylinder its on too. just my 2cents325es/24v's/20psi/meth injection/
