OOPS, I think a sump removal is mandatory and the inspection may well reveal;;;
1) BIG END CONROD BEARING FAILURE,
2) MAIN BEARING CAPS FRETTING THE CRANKCASE AND/OR
ACTUAL BEARING FAILURE....
Doesn't sound good, if these are evident, sometimes it's cheaper to source a new short block than it is to repair if main caps have fretted on block.( Necessitates a line bore etc...)

I hope this isn't the case but it sounds un well.
