Yes the pickup tube still has the o-ring on it and it looks fine. When they drained the oil the recorded with a phone and showed me. Dark oil with a clearly visible metal residue mixed in the oil. Either from the main bearing that we discovered to be scored or some other component where metal is grinding metal. Ill have the shop examine the oil filter Monday when they are open again. Thanks for the tip.

I'm starting to think shanechevelle and carreradan are making about the best sense at the moment. Take a step back and evaluate the situation. Maybe, buy a different rig, have the engine pulled out of this one, bring the rest of the rig home (with engine in the back), put the engine on a stand, swap things over to better rig...and assemble this engine at your leisure.
The engine is just a sum of pieces that with a little time and learning you could rebuild it and eventually swap into better framed rig.
This whole ordeal has just gone sideways for the moment. We, or most of us, assumed this would be a broken pump and cover issue, and maybe some bearings...all with the hopes that you might be back in business after a modest repair...but not to be. So, that in itself changes the complexity of the situation.
Anyway, I'd pull the reigns in a bit and slow down the money drain. If you get another rover, you will surely use any of the parts you've already bought. This engine should be pulled, gone through (find smoking gun) and reassembled properly, in my opinion. Someday, it might be the prefect engine for an overland rig.

Many years ago...15ish, a man walked in to the shop, asked us, "how much to restore our 1965 Barracuda. Engine, trans, frame, paint, chrome etc.all rebuilt.
Hard to quote without seeing the car...see some pics, they agree on a price.
Car arrives, the car is much worse than the pictures. Contract has to be renegotiated. Frame is rotted, floors rotted through, needs new fenders, new quarter panels parts missing...
We were at $30k, now its $40k. For a car that is only worth $20k TOPS.
Trying to save the owner money, we purchased another 65 barracuda and asked if we could use this one instead which would reduce the amount of money he would have to spend on the restoration. It was a dent free solid car with a great frame. It would reduce his contracted price.
Owner says "no way", the car was his first car he bought in high school etc...
so we sell the car we bought and started on his basket...
We get things stripped, fixed, welded, sandblasted, primered, the whole nine yards.
We decide to move forward with paint, guy continues to pay his bill...
We paint his car, send him some pictures.
He now wants two tone paint. What? That's going to cost MORE now than if he just would have said that in the first place. Strip the clear off, tape, sand, mark our lines etc...We add the second color, clear coat, buff...start assembly. Time time time...materials....
Guys wife gets sick, she dies...guy only pays his storage...still owes $18,000, we stop. The shop owner dies...uh oh. Son takes over...closes the place, car sits. Owner continues to pay rent. For about 8 years this guy is paying his rent...we don't touch it. Finally we decided the car is a liability, we tell him to come get the car. We give him the car, everything we still have for it, its gone, we never got the $18k.
Point is...lay down your priorities and think of how you can reach your goal the best, cheapest way possible. Don't just shoot from the hip and by all means know what the end result should be BEFORE you start. Like actually sit down, write it out, do a report on it if you will. Browse the internet and see what stuff is going for, research. Now if this is a sentimental case...people get all out of whack over sentimentality. Me included...don't get me started on my Chevelle.
We once had a guy TOTALLY change his truck color after we finished the truck. He came to pick it up and didn't like the shade. Welp...that'll be another $10k.
This guy doing this rover, is at the stage where it will take him much more money to reach the end result than if he would just start over with a different one.
Don't you people go to junkyards in your areas?

I'll bet the junkyards in the northeast only have newer cars, anything with rust is crushed. Only high turn/high profit components are stored. Lots of stuff from the west is shipped back east because bodies last longer in the dry air. That's why the nearest decent D2 to him was 1500 miles away. Even the newest D2 is 14 years old now.

There are upullits here with rovers all the time...they even have an old car section that has 50's-60's-70's stuff.
It does get crushed, but there is big business here. $2 admission, sign the waiver...you're in.

If I ever win the power ball I might research Land Cruiser engines and try and retrofit one into my future D2. Imagine a D2 with the reliability of a Toyota Land Cruiser and the beautiful unique styling and capabilities of a classic Land Rover. I think it would be beautiful. id have to swallow my pride a bit but would be worth it. As much as I love these older Rovers I absolutely cannot stand the Rover V8. Its unreliability, slow and poor acceleration compared to other SUV's and its low tolerances.
Like I said before most vehicles in New England are rotted out or beginning to corrode. For some reason folks up here dont like to get their vehicles undercoated. Fluid film is roughly $150 every 2 years I think. So Ill make dam sure my next D2 is a rust free truck and my first objective will be an undercoating.

Thats one hell of a story! And I get what your saying. Ive already stated above that Im putting the Turner engine on hold while I search for a running rust free 2004 white D2. Have afew in mind. One has a rebuilt engine. If its still available after I get my refund from Tarheel then Ill try and buy it. Then Ill have the local shop remove the Turner block from my truck so I can put it in storage and work on it in my spare time as a educational hobby/project. best case scenario Ill have a spare rebuilt Turner block.
If I ever win the power ball I might research Land Cruiser engines and try and retrofit one into my future D2. Imagine a D2 with the reliability of a Toyota Land Cruiser and the beautiful unique styling and capabilities of a classic Land Rover. I think it would be beautiful. id have to swallow my pride a bit but would be worth it. As much as I love these older Rovers I absolutely cannot stand the Rover V8. Its unreliability, slow and poor acceleration compared to other SUV's and its low tolerances.
Like I said before most vehicles in New England are rotted out or beginning to corrode. For some reason folks up here dont like to get their vehicles undercoated. Fluid film is roughly $150 every 2 years I think. So Ill make dam sure my next D2 is a rust free truck and my first objective will be an undercoating.

The yard asks you to sign a waiver so you cant sue them since you are the one doing all the dismantling. They put any and all vehicles in the yard. They basically purchase cars from copart and people that drive them in.
These yards are huge, with inventories, numbered rows, etc. Cars all lifted off the ground so you can crawl under and remove whatever you want.
