Unhappy 13B question need 911 rex in distress!

I have a 85 rex w/ 13B non turbo swap w a holley 600 setup, was driving around and engine seemed to loose power, It over heated and engine ceased until it cooled down and push started it. Engine wouldnt idle and had to keep rpms up. Engine did a screaming noise and was short like a cheeeeerrrrrpppppp and I called racing beat and they said that engine had a bearing override or bearing slip, I dont know if I can save my engine and thats what I want to know, and do I need new rotors and ****, please help me clarify this issue and what should I do to fix my rex for the summer.

From what you explain, I would say its fubarred. Would need total rebuild. I say just find another running engine and put all your extra stuff onto it.

Ditto. Never let your rotory overheat. Blows seals and bearings, sometimes even cracks jackets.
