You could put a belt on it and turn it over by hand to see but my bets on damage unfortunately, other than that, take the head off it and have a look. Marc

Hey up,

I'd agree. Damage can be quite a wide spectrum depending on how fast your were travelling, revs etc.

Bent valves is most likely.

Grab a haynes manual, whip the top off and take a look yourself for damage.

Depending on the level, could be self repairable or new engine time!

Many Thanks,

Daniel
