Leak down test would be good but, i would go ahead and pull heads You will see the damage there first most likely. If particles disentegrated into real small pieces then You most likely got crank and rod bearings that will not last a very long time. You may be able to jack engine up enough to get pan off (doubt it) and see what is in the pan unless they were real slick which would bet they are and beat You to it and cleaned pan real good with magnet after they flushd the top end with desiel fuel by pouring it through the heads with covers off. If so get a magnifying glass and look close for small dents and scratches any place You can think of. Or just keep oil in it pull supercharger off permanetly and not over pressure the engine and run it till is lays down. Then I would buy the meanest crate engine i could get My hands on as the money You would spend cleaning that old engine up would go along way to covering a new crate motor.
I hope these people were not Your friends becuase if they are, You for sure do not need any enemies. There is no way who ever owned that rig did not know all this stuff. But, if My knowledge of forced induction is in question ask a few of the older guys and lady members i will not steer You wrong. I can get more info from My forced induction guy that specializes in turbo's but mostly We deal with superchargers and I have changed My share of compressor wheels etc. Even in a huge $150,000 farm tractor if that compressor wheel came apart like that they would pull it to the JD store and pull heads and get ready to buy a $35,000 engine if they can save some stuff. uig or little the failure does the same hurt to any motor. We put superchargers and turbo's on H2's and not had a failure but, We use Magnuson Radix only.

Well I hope it is not as bad as experience is telling me it will be. But, You really may be best to pull SC off go baCK to stock intake and drive for as long as you can and may get allot of life out of it with some good breaks. If You put forced induction back on it with all the if's and possibilities You will likely loose the motor way sooner than later. If You go back stock I would hope You get some decent use out of it as the damage that would have been done is done and you cannot change that so run it and keep synthethic in it Royal Purple but do not stretch oil changes do them at the short side of interval and You can get some good breaks for a good while before you go out the big money. Get You a magnet band to go around oil filter and try to catch what is still in it plus what may come off and not let it recycle.
Well been ill and gone a while but, sure hated to get back on and see someone with this as problem My first time back in a few months.
Hope it works out for You.

Hey KenP My bestest Buddy your counts have gone through the roof. I been handy capped do You think You could get the big head cheese to upgrade My rating anyway, consdering I have still been doing the hands on deal just not allot of on site handy work for memebers but helping members that have come to me Pm regularly. I'm going to try and be around a little more now. Just have not had many late nights to get on and visit plus Our dialup got so bad i could not stand it anymore but, i just got wireless card so i went from 24 kbps to surges of up to 200 kbps but, normally runing around 150 kbps. feel like I'm on a rocket ship.maybe the head honcho will give me a promotion as i have been hard at doing My job out on the front line with the rest of ground pounders. But, it may be asking to much but, I know Youn could vouch for me to the powers that be to give me a promotion to go with My medals i earned while out in the field for the diety etc. Been undercover caring on the war for Our team here.
Well thanks if You can get a battle field promotion put through for me. We are real close now to finishing a 9 month build obn My H2. Trying to have it ready for Dub contest in memphis and had been selected to be in the spring SEMA 1 of the 20 GM only rides to compete and the upholstery let us down with a few othr minor things and right up to the last minute We fiught working 20 hours a daty the last 2 weeks before spring SEMA to be there. We got told if We had made it very likely We would have gotten best of show as We had to do a form showing what We had and were adding etc. and there were no other H2's invited but, Us but, a H3 did get best interior. If We could have made it I think Hummer world would have been represented well. But, like I said I have not been on site much except to read as been hard at it down in the trenchs.
We have allot mof good things lined up and looking like many Mags that i will get to mention My H2 club family in as You guys inspired me to get into it more even though most of the club sare not blingers but, We got to represent where ever we can get a challeneg.
Hi all will try not to be as much of a stanger although after this it may be requested that I MIA for another 2 months or so.
III'''MMMM BBBAAACCCKKK!!!!!!!!!!!
