It's back up and running Alan 
I'd already ordered the engine as an upgrade so no biggie.....although the timing was poor
So after stripping the engine it appears that the piston gave out......possibly because the pistons are quite literally worn out and rocking.
Been noticing some misty smoke behind me at night for a while.....all bearings were as good as new.....no det marks on the head or pistons (which is my curiosity telling me to strip and see) so basically I'm going with a rocking piston rocking just right and getting torn out around the small end in a downwards motion..
I'll post a link to the video once I get it edited.....and some pictures.
Strange it went at low speed......glad I wasn't into triple figures....
After looking inside I'll source a VVT engine and sort some new rods and pistons and build a new engine as a spare.
The 1.6 is a little livelier for sure!!

Looking forward to a vid of you driving it with the 1.6 in it 
I reckon you blew it up on purpose so you could put the 1.6 in it :woohoo: :woohoo: :evil:
Takes me a week just to change my wiper blades :silly: :silly:
