That is unbelieeeeeevable!

My fears would be around where the bits have gone! :scared:

Have you had a look at the cam lobe?

Dropped the oil and done a flush?

Changed the filter?

What does the hpfp piston end look like?

Not the cause though an uprated hpfp may accelerate follower wear.

Well he hasn't said it's a cam follower yet.

Fooking disastrous if it is. Couple of oil flushes at least and sieve for the bits.

Right, yes that WAS a follower. The cam is totally f*cked. I can see through the head and yes hpfp is also f*cked. Yes it was replaced 18 months ago and checked last may and all was sweet with it. Just goes to show, from now on it will b changed every 6 months. Very harsh lesson indeed. Been told bits that broke off should be in head still as there's no where for then to go. Dont know if thats right though so dont quote me on that.
