Update, garage removed the crank pulley and it was good as new, out of options they took the head off, all good there too, valves look to be fine, however when they try to wind the engine over on the crank there is several points of resistance so it looks like it has spun a shell so engine is scrap.
Ive got the 2.5 that came out of the car that could probably be refitted although it wasn't running that well when I got it, I suspect the head gasket, wish Id done a compression check before taking it out, Ive got a 2.8 low compression engine that Id set aside to turbo charge at some point although this would not be a quick solution. I could source another 3.0, either way its probably going to cost me more than Im willing to spend and I need transport so it looks like Ill cut my losses and break it
