If you can get your hands on a borescope then take the spark plugs out and check to see if one of the pistons is shiny from hitting the head. It sounds like it has spun a big end bearing.

Sounds major. Best would be to remove the engine to inspect properly
Merry Christmas.

sounds more expensive to repair than to grab a motor from wreckers
