It could also be a combination of a few things. Sometimes the tick can get loud enough to hear while sitting in the car. Mine has from time to time. It could be tick, along with a broken balance shaft belt, along with a BISS adjustment screw that's backed out a little.

I would agree though that it could be a spun bearing. But like you said, you would see a huge drop in oil pressure if that's the case.

I know one thing that made my car run like shit was when one of the plug wires would pop off of the coilpack. It had just enough spark to run but barely. It shook like hell under acceleration and it died at idle.

Just a few other things to check before hitting your head against the brick wall.
