Yes, I'd say that's salvageable. That's pretty minor; a few years ago I helped my S2 buddy Erik rebuild his engine. One of the pistons is now sitting in my dining room as a trophy; they were also not reusable. He had to send the block out to a 928 shop out west IIRC for proper boring and honing, and got a new set of beautiful pistons from Diamond - much less expensive than JE's. Naturally, they have the pattern now; I think he did a few neat things like have the rings set up to use Total Seal or some other readily-available ring, less expensive than stock.

Obviously it's now back together and very happy, and being tracked again (also has a near-race suspension, with double-adjustable coilovers all 'round). But the rebuild was very stock.

I'll point him at this thread, he can spell out all the details for ya.

I'd also point out that you'll want to fully tear down the head and inspect the springs; even without cam tensioner failure, we found 3 of the original springs snapped! One chunk had even made its way to the oil pan. Mind you, the car was in fact running when he bought it - though as you might imagine the top end was a bit flat! LOL
