Maybe a long shot but does anyone have a bore scope that they could lend me (or do it for me so they know what they are looking at) so i can see what damage has been done to my engine before i decide what to do next

Bad luck yesterday Granby, keep your chin up. You looked like you were adamant you were going to get it running again.

they do, but you could always pick up some non AVCS heads and sell the AVCS on or even go back down the OE sti ECU route...the AVCS heads are one extra sensor and solenoid per side iirc

Got my spark plugs back from NGK today after they examined them to find out why one should break up
There conclusions were that it was caused by severe overheating and that is was down to abnormal combustion
Abnormal Combustion
Abnormal combustion reasons include ignition timing related problems, oil entering the combustion chamber, leaking fuel injector or spray pattern etc
