Well considering the amount of metallic content throughout, it would need to be completely broken down and cleaned. The crank needs to be replaced due to the scoring on it, and who knows what else may be lurking in tighter tolerance areas deeper inside. It is suggested to replace the motor for time savings and cost effectiveness rather than rebuilding this one.

Not sure what happened to this motor for it to get to this point, this happened before current owner. Still turned over, but very gnarly...clearly
