Purchased Husquvarna RZ4621 in 2011
Engine is Briggs and Stratton 330000 series engine
Became hard to start and could not get over compression stroke...
Replaced head gasket, adjusted valves but once started kept hearing metal grinding
Pulled engine and cracked open block to reveal metal shavings in sump and broken parts EVERYWHERE!
Should i repair engine? Get a new engine? Please review pics and convince me!
Please note that my hydrostatic transmission on the left side has also lost power and assume it needs to be rebuilt.

Is the main body of the engine intact? (Cylinder, crankcase, crankshaft) If not, you can probably find a cheaper replacement on Ebay or Facebook Marketplace.
