Also it says warning oil pressure on the dash ive found the the oil pick up was blocked, i cleanned that but its still the same has done 120,200 miles. Also found some metal in the sump but i dont know if its from the sump being rethreaded. But the bits i found are magnetic and oviously its a ali sump ?

I would say lack of oil pressure knackered your engine mate it sounds top end
