what a bummer
. If the heads comming off its a good time to replace the timing belt etc and uprate the rods and actuator then happy days again.
Ive Been Told of Loads of people that the Oil Pump or Pick up could be blocked Hence the Oil not getting to the lifters?
happened to a mate of mine that, said he was getting a misfire, we went out for a drive felt like a coilpack, scanned it, no faults gets a call couple days later, engine seized, because of a blocked pick up pipe,
i changed my pick up pipe the other day, thankfully mine was super clean, but for a £12 part, it can do a hell of alot of damage

yea we got cars in all the time with over 80 k on the clock with blocked pick up pipes it aint a bad job to do sump off and then change the part
SO what should i do john?
I aint gonna drive it till its sorted so Drain oil & sump off and check the pick up pipe?
If needs be il replace the Pump while im down there..Were John will xxx
yeah you can also use the oil as a semi flush if you run the car warm then drop the oil, just need to make sure you dont burn yourself, then new pipe and liquid gasket on the sump.
