The fact that you"ve got large chunks of metal AND antifreeze worries me. If you just had large chunks of metal, I would have figured that a sleeve had simply gotten sucked down, happens all the time with that engine. However, since you"ve got antifreeze in the oil too, your block may have been damaged when that sleeve got nailed. D-282 is a dry-sleeved engine, so the only two ways antifreeze has into the oil is past the head gasket or through a crack in the head or block. So, I can"t really give you an accurate guess as to cost of an overhaul until you get it torn down and inspected. It also depends on who does the labor and what your definition of the word "overhaul" is. I basically went all out on my 560 D overhaul and had the block machined for the press-fit sleeves like the later 282"s had. It cost just over $4500 for pistons, sleeves, late style connecting rods with the big wrist pins, gaskets, main bearings, rod bearings, cam bearings, injectors, 12 new valve guides, 12 new valves, springs, and keepers, all filters, belts, hoses, clamps, ect, a new clutch, injection pump work, and machine shop work. That does not include shop labor, which will take upwards of 40 hours, some small independent shops get $40 an hour, dealerships get $65-$75, so figure in another $1600-$3000. If you need a used block, that could cost anywhere from $500-$1000.
