if its a piston or valve, you'd be blowing smoke/no power or white coolant
pop the timing cover off and check the chain
otherwise, suspect a conrod, or something in that area
do a compression test

Ditto. My 5M did much the same thing when a rod bolt let go.

does that make it a 'throw-out engine' or 'replace part' job?

I can agree with norbie on this....sounds likemy 5M when it first let go.
Not sure on if things could of been replaced...i'd say if you can afford it get a new engine 
If not...then try at all costs getting it rebuilt as it will probably cost more than a better engine.

I had a similar thing happen when I spat a shim which ate HUGE chunks out of one of the camshafts... Idled rough as hell (for obvious reasons).
Big clattering noises which just got louder as the revs rose...

thanks for the replys dudes.
I will replace what evers broken the motor has been fully rebuilt its only done like 6000ks
i'll take the timing cover off and se if thers some chunky bits.
it wasnt blowing smoke and it wouldve gone quicker (as in reved higher but i sluged it home doing 30kmh)
it was like a clukcluccluckcluck and the more revs the faster it seamed like it was smacking whatever its hitting (im shit at explaining things i know)

if it has fkd the cam thats bad because i couldnt get a new one from anywhere in WA i would've had to get a custom cam made which was something stupi like a $1000
i think it will be out of action for a few weeks so i had a look in the quokka (trading post) CORONA 2000, 1981, manual wagon, runs well, lic till Mar $AUS500 i reckon he love $350 cash maybe $400
fckn cars
