+1 to Bibio's advice. See what's in the oil and if there's lots of metal, then take it from there.

In some cases there is an argument for repairing your current engine rather than buying another used one, but again as Bibs said, an SV strip is a major job. As most SVs are written off in crashes rather than because the engine has died, you're probably better off just sourcing a used motor.
