Fingers crossed its the Bearings and will be re quoted...
You wouldn't consider just getting a replacement engine.

I would think that just dropping on a replacement engine would be a lot quicker/cheaper than:
- taking yours apart
- figuring out whats wrong
- replacing damaged parts
- putting it all back together
