How's the crank?

I'm guessing it's fairly beaten up as well?
Did you check to see if the oil pump/timing cover are showing my predicted signs of catastrophe as well?
I'd say you want to inspect the rest of the main and big end bearings and the crank, carefully, as you're surely planning to do. Then a similarly obsessive look at the cam bearings and cams. I suppose if you find nothing too horrifying in that list of items, then you'd probably want to get that motor disassembled and have the block thoroughly cleaned, and ditto the head, to get the remaining shavings out of there. Then reassemble the beast, and I'm assuming you'll need a new (used) timing cover and oil pump. You could elect to delete or replace the balance shaft drive as you see fit.
