Opps, the engine has had an internal problem, please don't crank it over anymore. Thanks for the video, it helps. It sounds like the timing chain has broken which means the engine could have bent valves/broken pistons.

Thanks so much for the prompt response. Can we save it? Is it worth saving? Or do we scrap?

You can save it if you install a new/used engine that is up to you if you think the car is worth it or if you want to get a different car.
