as you have unplugged the VVT and stopped the rattle it sounds like the VVT is faulty...
Swapping the pickup is not a big job for the average DIY'r and worth doing regardless but if the VVT is on its way out then you normally get a brrratt! sound if you blip the throttle from idle from the top of the engine

If I have translated your autocorrect correctly you removed the solenoid valve of the VVT unit? to see if it works?...

what bearings were you expecting? metal shavings is very very bad... should have took the end caps of the rods and checked the big end bearings, big ends are not what you think, its just a metal shim thats fed oil. mine spun two big ends;
