Stephan,
In my opinion, there is only ONE thing to do in your situation. That would be 
a complete tear-down of the engine to check everything over, to find the 
cause of the problem,  to wash out all of the metal particles that are deposited 
throughout the engine, and to replace the worn parts (maybe the crank?). 
Sorry, but that is what you must do.
