Yes, timing will change based on throttle position, load, rpm, etc.

Well diagnose the conditions first. Is it doing it when hot or cold, full throttle or 1/2 throttle, etc etc etc

Well that could cause more problems... bit of a gamble... if you dont already know then I suggest you take a listening rod and try see where it is coming from. If it is from inside the engine then I would rather then gut it anyway. Sorry hope its not what you think...

if i drain the oil then surly there will be metal flakes in it if the bearings are shot
