Default mk4 efi escort sounding like a v8

Well ok not quite a v8 but bascially the gf was driving her cab thru town when it started to run and sound like a sack of shit, lacking power and sounded really running rough almost like a fucked V8 sort of noise. I was hoping it was a lifter or the cam as i had an old orion of mine wear a lifter out which caused a similar problem but checked all the lifters and inspected the cam lobes down the lifter holes and none seemed worn?!

Gonna check the compression to see whats going on there but if that comes out ok them am i right in assuming one or some of the bearings have gone?! not sure why really as was enough oil and it was just round town but, hey ho had 2 go again at some point
