Well I took the head off today and found what was really wrong. NO.2 Inlet valve wasn't closing!. I don't know yet whether someones *uck up when changing the Timing belt / the valve is slightly bent or its the good old fashioned Carbon build up. I took off the rocker bars to make sure there all shut to check and I could see light on No.2, so there you go. I've checked the HG but it covered in too much *hit to see were it has gone. Anyways I had a good spare head which I've stripped for a thorough clean, skim and recut valves etc to save some time. One other thing though I have noticed that Oil was leaking from the tubby around the core/Exhaust housing so the seals are Fubar. I'll put up some pics later
Thanks Wacomuk!
