If it were me I think I would get a leakdown test performed. Compression tests can only reveal so much. Metal shavings can imbed themselves in surfaces of valves and valve seats and possibly scar surfaces of cylinders and dammage internal components. If tests show problems, you might still have time to save the engine. I would also consider an oil sample be taken to verify that no internal wear is taking place. These tests can show wear of Iron. Magnesium, Copper, etc. and really are not that expensive. Whats the readings from the tests performed so far?
On the impeller, have you contacted the Mfg.?
