Angry 'Nother engine noise...

I have 56,347mi on the engine. Last week it started a quiet tapping at startup. The tapping got louder and louder and started lasting longer. It's to the point now that I can hear it all the time at idle and when I push the clutch pedal in an inch or so I can feel it. It's just like riding a skateboard on a sidewalk. I thought at first that it was piston slap but piston slap goes away this doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas?

just make sure they look normal with no cracked side cups or bearings missing.
