I had a 350 making noise similar to what you describe as "marbles in a jar" ... it turned out to be metal fragments in the timing cover from two broken teeth on the cam sprocket.
As for bent crank, I doubt it, you earlier mentioned that the bolt didn't look out of whack when running. As unlikely as it may seem, I wonder if line bore was off centre from factory?
