The broken piece was still attached - barely. I installed the Besian oil pump disk, rebuilt solenoid pack, upgraded seals, S62 springs, etc. Along with new pulleys and belts - since everything was already apart. Almost $3k by the time all was said and done, but it's much quieter now. The car has 95k on it, so I should be good to go for another 100k.
