If a bigend has failed, the metal bits will find there way thru the oil system, and could damage the turbo bearings.
When a bottom end failure happens, you need to get a new oil cooler, and make sure the oil galleries are cleaned out real good.
It is near impossible to clean out an oil cooler core.
