If you have pretty good mechanical skills, I would take it apart and see if anything is loose or not where it's supposed to be.
it could be the WP,it has a shaft inside it,but first is it heating,dripeing collent on ground at right front tire.could be a bad knock sensor.if it were a wrist pin or bearing,it would not be intermittent,it would knock all the time.
It only does it between 750- 1200.RPM and only once in a while.it does sound just like a main bearing.has me baffled!and one other thing when doing oil change there was hardly any oil in my filter.There's always have oil in them.weird
Mine did the exact same thing still runs.was oil in filter next oil change but did use ford oil filter.still knocks at 750-1200 rpm
