We should, but I'm afraid of any carnage screwing up the parts I want to salvage.

Sounds like mine was, spun bearing on cyl 1, cyl 2 was really loose. Still drove it to the apt and a couple startups and back to work

Mileage on motor was around 80k. I suspect spun bearing. Started showing white smoke a while back but no signs in oil, and virtually no coolant loss. Just started one day on the way home from school.

That is odd. Mine was running perfect then I got off the interstate and had the windows down. Thought I was hearing the sound of my drilled and slotted rotors as i braked as normal but it definitely wasn't. Pulled in the driveway and it's been parked since november.

Notice you said no coolant in oil, so that elimnates the most obvious potential cause.
