I had this happen on a chevy engine when I spun bearing.
I over-revved the engine 3 times before this happened.
Hope this helps. - Better yet, I hope I am dead wrong.

Thanks for the reply
The problem is it doesn't sound like either. I've never heard a rod knock sound like this. I don't think it's been redlined, but to answer you question, the oil is clean.
He's pretty good with engines, this one just isn't easy to open up and look. That's why I was curious if anyone had any had experienced this, before the motor comes out.
