Crank bearings causing this noise?

Been chasing oil fluctuation problems for awhile have already tested psi which was reading low at cold start, what do you guys think from video is going on?
I have already replaced the oil pump so i know its not the oil pump, i'm thinking bearing's worn not producing oil pressure, I plan on yanking engine this weekend, what do you guys think? I know it's a very nasty sound.

Mine makes a similar noise when cold, I believe it is the valves, since my engine is a bit low on compression I'm using thicker oil, so after a few seconds of cold running the noise goes away, so I believe the thicker oil takes longer to climb up the top.

Get a mechanic stethoscope, or use the good 'ol screw driver trick and look for the source of the noise.
