My advice to P-C is that if it is ferrous material, the engine will need a complete disassembly/cleaning and rebuild to be good again. Probably better to buy a used 2.5L replacement and there are some affordable ones available in the Florida (local) market.
As an upgrade a '99 3.4L would be nice, but not good economically unless anyone has a good lead on one.
-If it's ferrous, does anyone see a point in trying to tear it down further for repair?
-Any thoughts on where metal could come from that would not require a full rebuild?
