sounds like a piston is coming apart. rebuild it before it gets destroyed.
Its a major project, but....
Drop the engine.
New forged pistons.
new crank/rod bearing set.
shouldn't need to machine the bores or the crank if it hasn't exploded yet. Just a nice wet cylinder honing.
Flush the oil cooler and lines before re-assemble (lots of sludge build up in there}
Clean every thing internal (timing covers, oil filter housing, oil pan, etc...
Prevent sludging: Use synthetic oil. Keep the oil level up (check often) and change regularly (no less than every 5K miles)
Good Luck!
