MEGA UPDATE:

You are not going to believe this - the garage has just phoned me up now and informed me that when they have took the head off they found insulation tape on the head. Where cylinder 2 is. This causing the head to lift up ever so slightly and causing a gap. No valves are damaged and the piston rings are fine.

Why would you put Insulation tape on the Head

Yeah i guess so. They are gonna skim the head pressure test it to be on the safe side but they can't find anything else wrong any where

Its not fallen in he said it had been purposely place there. Directly where cylinder 2 is. One thing he said was that they probs stuck it there to keep the gasket in place while they put the head on.

Iain - human error where they forgot about the tape?
That is a bit though!
