well, if it is an auto, yer might or might not have fooked the gearbox.
anyway, if it's a V6, the engine needs to come out to do the rear bank.
use the upgraded MLS gasket, get the heads skimmed and fit a new oil rail.
special tools are needed for re-timing it.
many garages won't do it because of a high probability of it failing again - they don't want to guarantee their work.
a LR main dealer will tell you that it needs a new engine - about 4 grand.
if yer do fix it - sell it quick!

forgot to say
get the head off and check the liner heights first. if one or more have slipped, then the engine's scrap and there's no point buying parts.
the head bolts are single use "stretch" bolts, so you'll need a new set.
if you do a search, there's undreds of freds on this subject.

It's not very often that I agree with the tractor boys but Treworgey is right. Fix it if possible, then get rid of it.
