Sorry docwa, I am reading stuff when I can but I am at work and trying to find an engine.
The guys at JAPEX are really well known and respected on here and thats why my car is with them now.
I trust them when they say that the engine is gone.
When they explained it to me they said a hydraulic lifter has busted which then dropped the valve into the piston which in turn has cracked the head,
bent a rod that has spun down and taken out the bottom end also. There are 100s of pieces of metal in every orifice of the engine including where the oil runs.
Im not the best person to explain all this and I wish I was.
Thanks for helping though and I did run this with JAPEX and they said of course they would do this if it was possible.
Like I said they are well know on here and they want whats best for their customers.
Ill keep looking.
