Ok so as few of you have tried to help with this via messages and chatbox thought I'd show you exactly what the issue was...

Probably my favourite cylinder this one...

Now as funny as that is, I really can't understand why it's happened! The cambelt is still intact and the cams line up, not checked crank but I can't see that slipping? And why have only some valves been damaged, both valves open together, yet one of each pair seems to be worse off. The car has sat for a while, but the engine turned over by hand ok before starting (starter solenoid broke while sitting unused).
So anyone know why it's happened? Or anything I can do/see to confirm why it's happened?
Cheers
Tom
