More water more damage, keep in mind it doesn't take very much water to milk up your oil.
I wouldn't dump a crap load of cash into the repair until I knew for sure what shape your bearings are in. You said you have 45psi at idle. That's great, what about after you went around the block? at idle. If your cam bearings are trashed you should have low oil pressure.
Good luck.
