Small update, the crank etc was tightened too much so de thread from the block. Now we need to rethread and attach the cam belt to see where we are. Hand turned every pulley and cog and was ok, didn't feel rough or stiff so could have been lucky. As usual will update.

Thank pal, very stressful time at the minute but fingers crossed once the new cam belt is fitted it'll be up and running again!

Just make sure you haven't gained a lifter/tappet noise.

Valve not making even contact with the valve seat when it closes.
Difficult to explain but with a cylinder head on the bench and it's easy to show.

OK thanks, I'll speak to him when I pick it up. He did say it was running perfectly but I'll double check when I see him later
