Just wanted to know how much roughly a bottom end rebuild will set me back?
To a standard 3sge.

But the nice thing about technical discussion is that we are all entitled to our opiinion
The last car I changed the bearings on has done at least 25,000 miles.
If the shell bearings are worn, there should not be any shards.If they are damaged then yes there may well be.
.
in that case however its likely that the crank is scored
- and it that would be an engine out job.
Andhopefully
any metal shards that do come off the bearings will
1) Fall to the bottom of the sum pan, or
2) Get stopped by the oil strainer, or
3) Get stopped by the oil filter.
