Default Engine damage from oil loss

my XKR Jaguar x100 suddenly lost oil from the engine when an oil hose burst. Delayed pullover being on motor way but then stopped after about 2km into a turn off. Noises from engine after refill and new hose fitted on restart. What is likely damage to engine?. Try the suggestions below or type a new query above.

Engine lost most/all oil due to a burst hose while driving and running without oil can cause bearing damage, camshaft/lifter wear, and piston/cylinder scoring.
Engine noises after refill and restart - could indicate internal damage and likely damage are Rod/main bearings, cam lobes, lifters, or pistons may be affected.
Check oil pressure
Listen for knocks/ticking.
Perform compression/leak-down test.
Consider oil analysis for metal particles.
Even short operation without oil can cause permanent damage; engine may require rebuild or replacement.
