tonight I got bored so stripped the sad engine
timing pinned up OK although the timing belt was a little slack, started to inspect the pulleys and belt and found this on the inlet pulley.........

once I took the pulley off and undone the bolts the cracked centre fell out!

took head off head looked good no obvious marks on the valves or pistons

took the bottom end off no obvious picked up or spun bearings
not looked at the block yet
so now where?
would a slack belt or damage pulley cause that much noise?
i guess ive got to get the journals sized
and get the valves out the head and spin them up to see if any are bent
