If its the big end bearings think where all the metal is going ! Yes in the oil and where does the oil go ! Round the engine...Leave it be m8 and get it looked at...R.I.P

dont do it!

at the minute you may just get away with new big ends, oil pump, and/or 1 rod and a crank.

The knocking will only get worse, more particles go round the turbo and engine, bores will get damaged. and then it may rod, at wich case you may as well get a new complete engine!
