Could be the big ends, or the mains; or even the camshaft knocking, before dismantling try to identify the area the noise is coming from. Use a large screwdriver and place the tip on the suspected area, and put your ear on the other handle end, move the point around and you will hear the difference in sound and identify the problem area.

One additional check is the oil pressure reading, worn big ends or mains means the engine oil flows out quicker, thus less oil pressure. If you have an oil pressure gauge, put this in place of the oil pressure switch, read the pressure with the engine hot, check against the manufacturers engine oil pressures, if it is excessively low it is the bearings.
