Oh, sorry to see that.

I've thrown rods through two 912 cases...exactly the same place as you did. In both cases, the rod endcap came off (failed nut?). I know the "anatomy" is different, but I would be surprised if your crank came through unscathed.

Obviously, that motor is not going to be rebuilt, regardless.

Go ahead and take it apart if you have the time and space, but your big decision is weather to sell the roller or buy a new motor. You've already lost the money you're going to lose (...the motor and the value of a car with its original motor). Nothing you can do from this point will change that. You just have to ask yourself if you have the cash to buy a new engine, or should you just walk away from the mess. A tough choice, no doubt.

Obviously, you have the skill to pull an engine, and if you can do that, you can recoup some value by putting in another one. That's worth something, and there are many that cant. If you decided to sell, I suspect you'd come out ahead (relatively) versus just selling the roller.

Tough choices. Sorry for your loss.
