Dont think a piston is broken it's probably the big ends gone

No a more or less standard engine will take more than that if the timing and fueling are set right

find a bottom end, and pray that that will fix it (bottom end around £200, labour £250 = £600 cos theyl try n scam me one way or other.. )
what should i doo!!! i do have £1200, but would it be worth it?
If you can afford to rebuild it then thats what i would do as then you have more or less a brand new engine and it will make a difference when you come to sell the car if it's all looked after
