Well, the bloody timing chain skipped a tooth again on the weekend...
Another 2 hours spent with my head under the bonnet...
On the plus side, I now know what the real issue is...
At first I thought it was the timing chain tensioner as it has a sticky spot at about 2/3 extension.
Whilst that's not great, oil pressure is more than enough to overcome it.
The real issue is that the Upper Timing Chain Guide is cracked.
Whilst I probably should replace the whole set (Upper & Lower Guides, Tensioners and Chains), as this motor has already done 300,000k's, I'm just going to replace the cracked guide and then consider my options for rebuilding it in the next 6months or so.

Stripped the paint off them, sanded them back and polished them with Mothers Billet Metal Polish and PowerBall.

So I had to use paint stripper to get rid of the silver paint plus the original clear finish.
Underneath was the original polished finish, but when you strip the finish off you end up getting scratches.
So you have to sand them (not fun) and repolish them again
