2008 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Unknown ColourDiscovery 3
Engine Failure

I know it has been covered before but I can’t find enough info, has anyone that has had the oil pump casting failure successfully rebuilt the engine with only the top end or does it “normally” trash the bottom as well?
I have got the rocker covers off both sides and there is a lot of rockers that are broken along with the cam retaining cap bolts, not sure whether to carry on with the rebuild or to scrap the car
Any advice welcome
