It means you're buying a new engine or a new car

Sounds like an engine rebuild or replacement - if car is worth it.

Tell us: any idea what happened to car to cause this failure? ie, not maintained, foreign object in cylinder, overheated, ran down on oil or ???????

Means you need a new or rebuilt engine...

your motor is all done
