I would recommend whipping the head off and getting the head looked at. I suspect it will be bent like a banana. Also look at the bores. I suspect the bores will have picked up in 4 'corners' suggestive of a grossly overheated engine. I'd imagine you'll have broken a few rings. Of course, the bores might be fine and the head might be straight but the fact that the engine was making bad noises would suggest to me that you cooked it good.
I think the easier option would be to buy a good second hand motor from an importer and replace it. If you (and your dad) are comfortable doing this, then hop to it. Remember to replace front and rear oil seals and timing belt.
