UPDATE:
Transmission is out and my clutch is shot. Which I figured its original and has 125,xxx miles on it.
Engine might come out today worst case tomorrow.
Question is now should I even consider switching to a single mass Flywheel or just replace with stock?

You could replace with a single mass (also known as a lightweight flywheel) if you want to. The car will rev a lot easier, and will increase acceleration a little bit and make rev matching easier, but do note: you WILL get lots of flywheel chatter. The chatter drove me crazy in my E30, but boy did it rev fast...
You'll only notice the chatter when the car is stationary and the clutch pedal is out, like if the car's in neutral.
It's a big tradeoff. What's more important to you; performance or comfort?

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

Yes 125k I have never driven the car easily. Light weight is a consideration and the chatter won't bug me.
I think it's going to come down to the cost of OEM vs light weight once I see how much damage is done to the engine.

UPDATE:
Motor was pulled today and oil pan removed. Metal everywhere.
#6 Cylinder has very bad damage. The rest of the cylinders were not inspected because the advice of my Indy is to just find another motor.
Photo of #6 attached.
Plan now is to find as low a mile M54 as I can. Then I will swap over the ZHP cams, my already rebuild VANOS and few other recently serviced parts.
I will also be replacing the clutch, doing the CCV, OFHG and a few other odds and ends such as shifter bushings and motor mounts.

If money allowed I would go farther with this build. But as a DD and auto x car its perfect.
Plus I am starting my E36 build in December or January.
