OP - no one (except the pedants on here) really cares about your spelling, but your post is so hard to read that it made my head hurt & I gave up.
Post it either with paragraphs, or with bullet points - i.e:
>Took car in for a service.
>Had a call to say its knackered.
>Garage say it's going to cost an arm & a leg.
>What do you guys think?
I'm not having a dig, just make it easier for us to read & you'll get more replies.

Crikey, some spectacular typing going on there!
Anyway, if your oil pump has blown because of a dropped shim, you'll need a full rebuild, not just the top end. Speak to TVR Power for the most cost effective rebuild options. Racing Green are also good but $$$$$ and warranty not as comprehensive.

In which case you may have been lucky. As said, undo the bolts from the front of the oil scavenge pump, this will allow you to remove the whole pump from the block. You then get the sump off and check for other crap in there.
What are you planning to do, check for damage then put it back together. If it has just chucked a shim out then the cams should still be good, you will likely need a new valve retainer and finger follower.
