You need to pull the head push out the piston/rod remove the rod and have it redone as kaegi said.
New bearings and put it back together.
Beings your going to be that far into it,you can either re ring all the cyl. or remove the engine for a complete rebuild.
Which is were you should go.
Your chasing low oil pressure so don't be surprised if the cam bearings are shot.
You loose a lot of oil pressure through worn cam bearings.
