Rebuilding your current engine, how can that POSSIBLY cost upwards of 15k? Can someone break down the price a bit?
All depends on what you decide to do and what damage was done.

Goto Pelican and add up the parts you are going to need.
Assume bent valves, IMSR, probably have to source a used IMS Tube.
head gasket, engine seals kit, fluids.

Then you have a lot of WIAIT costs.

It adds up quick. But you should be able to do it for 7-10K depending on labor and WIAIT costs -- however upon
teardown -- you might find the damage was catastrophic.

A 2.5K engine might be fine -- or it might be a nightmare.
Check the leak down, IMSR, and replace the WP at a minimum.
