you = pwn3d by lack of maintenance.
Your best bet is a 3L at this point. Then you can lay the smack down on R32s as well. If you keep oil in the engine.

yeah dude... I bet you were burning oil... and never payed attention to it for a while, and it just got to the too low point... ALWAYS pay attention to the oil dipstick.. I check my oil level once a week if not more. 3l time.

If you've spun the bearings you can't just swap the bearings and think you're good. The rod and/or crank are probably scored and it'll get rod knock instanlty again.
You can only swap bearings if the engine has not sustained any damage.
The only option for you is a engine swap. Time to roll out the POS neon and fix your SVT.
