No idea mate! There is no top* end damage, it has a regal inlet cam, and a x20xev exhaust cam, a fresh set of lifters up top, no case damage, all damage is in the bottom end. I reckon I could still get £600ish for it. I know a few companies that buy them to rebuild them.

What bad news luke ! sorry to hear about the engine going pop. If you tried to get vauxhall to pay for an engine they would just send your ecu off and decline the claim.
On another note at least youve got a good case agains the garage you bought it from chin up pal
