You do not want to window your block or score your crank any further as you could probably have your motor rebuilt to something lovely like a stroker for what it would cost to get an unknown replacement motor.

There is no need for the "drive it until it blows" mentality with these engines. It's not a Honda b series or LS motor that has millions of replacements in the wild; the s65 is a rare bird that deserves proper care.
