Ok, so I removed the head last nite... valves looks 100% still... tonite I'm going to measure the valve clearance ect ect...

I also turned the motor with the head off and it turns fine... sigh...

Will do the head completely... then drop the sump just to see it there is any crap in there. if not fit everything again and swing it again to see whats up.

Well basically want to get the motor sorted, then see from there... Think the best is to sell the SR and get myself another one...
