Welcome aboard
5000 hours on a gas engine! Do you mean 500?
Coming from the back of the engine I would say gimbal bearing or joint however neither would cause a loss of power.
What oil pressure does it have? I'm thinking you may have lost a cylinder. Perform a compression test. If oil pressure is good then probably a rod bearing.
