I've checked the lifters, pushrods, valves, they're all fine. I can hear metal, and a knocking noise.

Someone give me a ballpark figure for doing a stock rebuild at a shop

Depends how bad it is and how deep of a rebuild you want to do or it needs...it could be a simple as rebearing, rering, hone the cylinders and throw in a oil pump, timing set and gaskets...or you could have to get the crank cut, rods reconditioned, bored or resleeved or more On Top of the first option. Depends on the damage....and how much the shop charges...
