Engine block problems

Engine block: Main piece upon which the cylinders and the rest of the components of the engine are assembled. The crankshaft and the pistons can be found inside of it.

Engine noise, F150 2004

Ford F-150 2004 150000 miles

The engine of my F150 5.4 Lariat sounds as if it was diesel, and on the passenger side the engine block makes a clanking sound. When I start it it doesn't make the noise, but as soon as it warms up it starts again. I checked the cranshaft's connecting rods and everything looks fine, the timing belt is new but the noise is still there, and it vibrates and loses accelaration when you throttle it.

I have the same problem with a 4WD, a mechanic saw it and said it only needed oil because this engines have almost 2 gallons, and also told me to change the oil pump.
