Three Diamonds

I'm in north Texas. I've recently bought a 95 talon tsi fwd. The car has a spun bearing and has left metal shavings throughout the oil passages. I'm frugally repairing this car and joined this forum for suggestions on a solid rebuild without selling my unborn children to get it back on the road.

The car looks as though minor performance mods have been done. IE balance shaft delete, three inch exhaust, drop kit, performance clutch sticker , turbo timer, AC removed, KnN air box upgrade.

I suppose the proper method is deductive reasoning at this point.

I like the Idea of a rebuilt 6 bolt motor. Is there ECM issues? I am looking at replacing the crank and all teardown seals, possible rod replacement and a through cleaning. Even though the cause of the spun bearing is undetermined i'm confident enough in my mechanic skills to decipher what failed and make proper repairs .
