Marylanders R calling You OUT!
blew a chunk off of piston #1 (iirc), a piece of metal went up into the head and jacked up a valve seat so the head was leaking and then the timing chain got messed up somehow. the sleeves were all good still, but anywho here's a slight parts list that i can remember off the top of my head....
turbo
head
pistons
rods
rings
clutch setup
timing chain assembly
front cover assembly (oil pump)
head gasket
head studs
there may be more, i can't remember. estimated cost (i got tons of deals because i'm special) is around $1600 for parts. because GM voided the warranty i had to pay the dealership $600 because GM had them take off the head for inspection to see what caused the issues. not sure what labor will be from the shop it's at now.

labor cost to take apart, inspect & then reassemble your engine would be thru the roof.
i'm going to highly recommend that you find a low mileaged engine and swap that in.
then you can sell your engine to someone who wants to take it apart and do a built engine for their race car.
