Nice to hear you have a 16vt mate and it will be something simple with the loss of compression if the cams are worn they will give lower compression even if the head has been off in the past and incorrectly shimed will effect the compression and even the timing being slightly off will do it aswel theres alot of what if's but ill be on msn to lend a hand on stripping her down phone
