The other bright side is you didn't blow the drive and or damage your cases- you caught it in time.

Standard rebuild should be under 5K.

Sorry bud its just part of the bravo blues.

Anything over 450hp eats bravos up faster then they should. There's no magic solution.

Magic solution is dump the Bravo. Buy an Imco SCX.
