Interesting, no I didn't, they fitted these. Plus it turned over by hand beautifully. I can't hear any tapping when cranking it off the starter with the plugs out either.

I'm using a standard focus RS head gasket mate. Im pretty certain the gasket wasn't over hanging the bores.
I cleaned all the bores and pistons when I removed the head last week and it all came up spotless again, no obvious sign of contact or damage.
