Need help from forum members with experience with cars

My car broke down yesterday on the highway, i was going from ipoh to kl driving at 140km/h
suddenly i hear loud rattling noise coming from engine, i pulled over to the side

A few minutes later, highway police came and on inspection of my car they said my problem was from the engine bearing. so my car was towed to the nearest toll exit, where his mechanic friend was waiting for us. he also said problem was from engine bearing when he first heard the sound there.

After we took the car to his shop to do full inspection, he pulled out the bottom part of the engine with the oil in it, and you could see metal residue like metal scrapings in the oil. and he showed me the bottom part of the engine (pictures attached) and said that the thing of the far right needed to be replaced.

he said i needed a full engine overhaul that costs 2300RM++ i was wondering if anyone has any experience with cars , do you think a full engine overhaul is necessary, I just want to get the car working again nothing fancy and don't have that kind of money in my budget whats the least amount of work i can get done to get it running again?


Apparently the cause of my problem is because i drove the car without enough engine oil, i didn't think it needed replacement since i changed it 1 month ago and haven't seen any leaks ( it may be because i drove to Ipoh-Kl three times all at 160km/h)

The car is an Automatic Wira 1995, engine is 4g15p




the part that needs replacing is the part without oil that has been cleaned
