Ummn, these symptoms sound like what I hear about 5 times per week.. It also doesn't sound like an AOS to me, and considering the year of the car thats further substantiated in my mind.

Why do people have to drive these cars to death when they cart hearing noises? I've worked on engines all my life and i have NEVER heard a good mechanical noise emitted from an engine. So often the "worst case scenarios" that we see are because someone refused to call a tow truck. A tow bill can be several hundred percent cheaper than what happens from driving the car to death while it is going through the self consumption stages.

Hopefully I am wrong, but this sounds like a classic example.
