Default is the motor shot

i took my trans out and then was forced to let my car sit for 4 years. the motor was unsupported and only held by the motor mounts.

the oil pan cracked recently. it basicly has big cracks running from side to side and front to back. some cracks have a nice gap between them.

these happenend on one day, no leaks before that.

is there anyway i messed the engine block up and now need a whole new motor. the car is a 2002 camaro ss m6.

I don't see why the engine block or its components have been damaged in any way. Remove the oil pan and put a new one on. Spin the rotating assembly while the pan is off.

Should be just fine.
