				Motor ran without oil. Toss it or rebuild?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			Last season I lost an accusump line and ran the car completely out of oil because I’m an idiot.  I’ve since swapped it out with a 2.7 but still have the old motor sitting around. It still runs but even with new oil in it you can hear the bearings.  Are these worth rebuilding?   Can I do anything creative like install a 3.6l crank?   It’s an early 2.5 
 
Cheers, 
Stu
