post a video of it on youtube or photobucket.

Knock is very different from the sound of a spun bearing.

If its a spun bearing.... be prepared to pull the engine soon... otherwise you may have a rod through your block

If you have spun a bearing, then go all the way and do a full rebuild. with 147K the engine is tired. YOu will be suprised how nice a fresh rebuild is to drive (once broken in of course)
