no bother mate. the word 'garage' was a bit misleading alright i must admit.
i know enough to take it in and out, have done a fair few in my time. just dont have a lot of experience with internals ect, as normally try and avoid going that deep into them as its so expensive. we will take the head off alright and look for anything obvious before it goes away.
my guess is the damage will be fairly obvious to the eye
