big end? Take the extractors off and see if the valve guides are still intact

maybe check that you havent broken a guide, the chain will then flog about a bit, probably enough to hit the timing cover every now and then.

When not reset correctly, the auxillary shaft can chew into the engine block, seen this happen before.

if not set properly there can be too much tension on the cam chain possable causing a whining sound and shortly after that the bolt holding the gear on the aux shaft will shear off or the aux shaft will chew into the block...
if there is not enough tension the chain will slap around making horrible noises.. keeping all this in mind the aux gear drives the oil pump... |

It could also be the oil pump it self, or the block actually. When my motor died it had a horrible noise coming from the bottem end. It had done a big end but the bulk of the noise was from the oil pump that had worn a nice groove into the block so inturn was flogging around in the groove. This problem dd not set in slowly it just all of a sudden appeared. It is a major issue but the good news is that this happens to the 4.0L that often you can buy a bearing for the oil pump to solve the problem. Bad news REBUILD TIME. I had no oil pressure drop though.
