I reckon go with the swap
Instead of spending money rebuiling the engine
you might as well use that money to do the swap
and fix your other car.

i think it would be a complete waste of time fixing your motor, then swapping it.... save the money and do the swap now

Just realize, if a bearing needs to be replace, it's not big deal, but if you SPUN a bearing, you're in rough shape. The crank will need to be removed, brought to a machine ship to be turned and polished, and the oversized bearings installed.

Not to mention that the journals in the block will probably have to be bored out and cleaned up as well!

If you actually spun the bearing, then I would say go with the swap.

You just have the worst luck don't you? Same here.
I say, put a 20V in the corolla, and a 3S in the Celi. Either way, you would end up with two magnificant beasts. One for dragging the Rolla, and the celi for cruising.
