URGENT oil pressure stop engine
flashp:
If you have AA cover or similar call them and see if they can shed any light on it before they offer to recover you.
Other than that, I'd have to say my preference would be to pay a trusted garage. For me there'd be too much at stake if I went the DIY route, there's no substitute for experience.
However you proceed, good luck! :happy2:

Im going to refit the sump and then try to turn the engine at the crankshaft nut.
If it does turn, this means that damage is top end? My thoughts are that if they cam chain had slipped or split completely, then surely it either would have gone bang, and stopped running straight away? And if it had only slipped a little, why did it keep running, and then start again after being off only to cut out again shortly afterwards?

The original oring will be ok to do what your thinking.
Don't worry about anything until you see the outcome of the cleaning the pickup pipe and hand turn of the engine has turned out.
