I reckon the turbo is fucked too.
Got no way of meassuring EGT's unfortunately, Turbo is off and seems ok from what I can see?!
Am I right in thinking Timing would have to be too retarded for high EGT's?

it has been known if you have the head faced it will lower the amount of alloy to hold in the seat. a few cossies have dropped valves due to over skimming.
Yes Louie you opinion is welcome mate! Pop round tomorrow sometime if you like? I'll PM you my number gice me a bell!
NMS have asked me to send it to them so we'll see what they have to say!
