Issue resolved. Oil cooler plugged up with debris from old motor (crazy catastrophic failure)
Still going to get a timing cover together with the big oil pump gears but no longer in any rush to do so & car has become safely driveable again, just no oil cooler...... For now. Good thing is the coolest time of the year [emoji846]
Thanks @
