Thanks everyone for your thoughts.
The engine is a 2.7 standard issue.
Our first thought was was something done wrong when the ISM was done, but 7000 km since should rule that out I think.
When we put the car on the hoist the timing was the first check.
As Gelbester said there has been some magic because for all valves to be bent the timing must have been incorrect.
A suspicious person might fairly say that the mechanic is not being totally honest with what they found. But the mechanics are a straight up team, I'm confident I'm getting the real storey.
It's Sunday in australia today and I will be visiting the mechanic tomorrow for further discussion.
We used a scope to look into the cyclinder first and there was a sludge type stain on all cyclinder walls.
The oil was only 5000km old and still golden.
What is being said is that they seem to have these problems with the low km cars.
Thanks for eve ones ideas
Cheers Brett
