Hard to say without looking at the inside. I'm thinking tranny and crank damage looking at the metal on the oil screen. At this point you might as well drop the engine and pull off the heads and lower case cover to see what else is going on there. I would say it would be cheaper to buy a new/used engine, of course you can always rebuild it, but it will probably be more hassle than it's worth.
With the amount of RTV in the crankcase, there's no telling where else it might be in the oil pump and passages. There was probably more metal than that in the oil and it was drained out. The red hot exhaust was a indicator of some extreme friction and lack of lubrication going on in the cylinders.
