update on valve problem , I removed head manifolds etc removed all valves number 6 valve was wearing the new guide away .I fitted a new guide and valve and rebuild .I took the car out last Sunday and did 90 miles no problems fingers crossed seems to be running quieter and smoother now.
what I believe the engineer shop had just fitted the valve guides and did not ream them to size.
many thanks again for the info.

on to the next problems
