Just a quick update, tzx660 came round this morning to help take the motor out once we had the motor out we decided to take the head off and found one snapped valve and seven bent valves. You can see how rich the left hand side has been running.

And some very bent valves couldn't get three inlets out due to the severe burrs above the buckets

Luckily they are the easy parts to find, new strips of gaffer tape are easy to come by. :lol:
