Look at it as a challange which is part of the fun. If you are so inclined, take the motor apart. Should not take you more then half a day. Take photos and keep the parts organized. Get it down to a bare block. Get the block to a reasonably decent machine shop, tell them what is going on and have them throughly mag the block. If the block is painted, they may want to shot clean it just to get the paint off and do a through job of magging it. If it passes mag, and it might, have them check the decks and make sure they are flat. If not, have them cut a bit and put the motor back together.

A caddy motor of all things. How cool!
