That would be "wrist pin"... it's the pin which holds the connecting rod to the piston. Not a common problem and as such I'm quite doubtful of the diagnosis... if it is accurate count on a full rebuild.
Have you seen this vehicle in person? Is the noise high in pitch or deep? Is it louder than a ticking clock?
