Do you get a rattle on start up and when you turn it off, does it increase with the revs, Hold it around 3-4k rpm, If it sounds like this then bottom end mate.

2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi rod knock? - YouTube
Yes on idle it ticks over with a tap tap tap sound and when revved it gets louder and really doesn't sound good

The reason I ask about oil is the dreaded knock normally starts at around 2500 rpm and tends to disappear around 3k, I wondered if it was just tappets with no oil, they sound like a sewing machine on full chat.
