Maybe thin night it out and washing the block to the point where there has been little to no oil
There are a few cheaper checks you can do
But idd start with some fresh cheep oil, just to do a pressure test,
then oil pan off, and head off inspect the inside of the bore, if scratches rebuild
If looks good
Strip it down,
Send the crank to get checked and polished, (around $100) not ground (unless it's bad)
Give the bore a light hone (mostly to deglaze)
Fit new std bearings and rings
You should walk away under $800 with ease

would or is this worth a shot if your pickup was clogged? - not that im willing to try but was just curious to see if it was frowned upon or worth a shot?
