I'd agree that it needs an experienced mechanic to take a look rather than hope for some internet diagnosis. Any number of things could have happened, depending on how low the oil got and what load the engine was under. If you decide to go for stripping the engine down and rebuilding you could find bearing shells, crank, camshafts and pistons/bores scored, chain damage and who knows what else. The labour and parts costs may quickly overtake a replacement engine.If getting a used engine tho would it be a refurb or just secondhand? You'd ideally want one with a service history and get things like the chain and tensioners replaced before fitting I'd suggest, one less thing to worry about for a while at least.
