It might not last 6 months, but I would still go ahead and put it 
back in so you can at least drive it a bit and get a feeling for what 
else might be wrong before you jump into a rebuild. Otherwise 
there is a pretty good chance that you'll miss something important. 
There's really no good substitute for running experience with a car 
to tell you what kind of work it needs.  

You might see if you can find one of those "wood screw" temporary 
repair studs.
