You may have lost a bearing, if so rebuild or engine swap time - But that being said have you checked oil level?

I've noticed some engine produce a small knocking sound when there isn't enough oil...

Dumd question, did you check you oil level?

If the knock is pretty loud and oil pressure is fluctuating it's not good. My 2000 did that and it was time for rebuild. Main and rod bearings were shot along with the crankshaft.
