    Sounds like a bearing may have gone bad.

    I'm not sure it would knock that long and not get worse. With that code, hopefully its one cyllinder firing out of time and its piston slap. Check the timing or bring it to Toyota for a diagnostic. They may not charge much if they think they'll also get to repair it. Good luck.
