We'll see.

Sounds like the motor was contaminated by metal. When the bearing gets eaten the little tiny metal particles go everywhere, sometimes they get as small as a grain of fine sand. The metal particles can and do make other components wear out super fast, plus they will clog tiny oil passages in the pistons too.
Hope all of it goes well.
