Hello .my engine is not right some how ,it is noisy ,and has low oil pressure i have replaced many parts ,oil pump,main bearings ,big ends piston rings ,4 push rods ,tappet guides and slides ,and new turbo!!!!

Could it be the camshaft for the noise and the low oil pressure ,i heard that one of the camshaft bearings can move ,giving low pressure .

Thanks Rob .

could be a cam bearing but to the best o my knowledge its not a DIY fix,

if it was me id swap the defender bits onto a disco engine & away you go
