But engine firm said all the evidence pointed to the head but can't find a fault,but are doing a check for cracks.but if not it must be in the bottom end. And as boars are good it must be rings

zman - Was the engine......

1) Smoking ?
2) loss of power ?
3) Unusual noise ?
4) compression values down?

With the symptoms - it may be easier to analyse for the solution.
