Get the oil tested for contaminants. That will give you an idea of the damage.
I had a head gasket go in a GM 3.4 L engine and it was toast in a very short time. I needed the engine to be rebuilt. All bearing surfaces were shot, the push rods looked like they had been ground by hand to a three sided shape instead of spherical shaped.
