The car is a 2002 C4 with 71,000 miles.
The shop has torn it down and there seems to be some damage but not as much as might be expected. There is some light scrapes in some of the cylinder chambers, scaring in the oil pumps, etc.
The shop stopped the tear down because there is enough damage to require a complete rebuild/new engine and we might get a crate engine for less money than it would cost for a shop to do a complete rebuild.
I am looking at paying the difference to get a 4.0 crate engine [since we're in there]  .
No photos at the present time but I will take some to post.

So was it the IMS bearing or just cylinder walls damaged by running the engine without oil ? I don't understand the connection
