Sounds like it may be done, but definitely get a good professional opinion. From my experiences and I've been through this twice in the little over a year that I have been a VX owner, it sounds like mine did when it was done. If it is bad and you wanna keep the VX, I recommend getting a new engine from Isuzu. I tried a reman and after the first one developed rod knock with 4k on it I'll have enough in the engine replacement to have gotten a new engine installed by the dealer with a much better warranty.
Good Luck,
