Thank you a lot for the information and that's answered many questions regarding the engine.
My thoughts have always been to rebuild the engine and I can do that myself so many the next route would be to gutt the engine and source some parts. Like any big company they are looking for the cheapest option.
Will see how I get on and once again cheers for the help.
