My 5vz-fe 3.4 v6 has a noise at 2500 3000rpm in gear and out of gear anyone else had this problem and found a solution? I have posted on fair few forums can seem to find a correct answer just hoping someone has had the same issue

Ok guys, after 2 days of looking haven’t been able to source the issue but another sound has arrived. When starting, it takes a little longer to fire and once it does there is a loud tick for about 3 seconds. People have suggested big end bearing, but since the noise started I've done about 15hrs driving, so I'm almost sure the bottom end bearing would have given way by now. Also, the engine is ticking louder than normal, almost sounds like it’s missing, but no loss of power. I hope this might help source the issue.
Update
Ok guys done my compression test today believe it or not all cylinders are between 190 180 psi its a lot better than expected for a car that has 326 Thousand kms it’s also rules out any valve or rod damage. engine noise still a mystery
Any help would be appreciated
