    It may be connecting rod knock, due to not changing the oil frequently enough. I would tear the engine apart and check things out, paying particular attention to the connecting rod and crankshaft. There's not a whole lot to breaking down these engines. In the future, use the proper viscosity of full-synthetic engine oil. It will virtually eliminate engine-related problems.
