i bought a williams 2 at the weekend with this problem. i turned the engine over with a socket and ratchet on the bottom puley and it turnes over real easy.what is the most likely damage and would it be worth fixing?

Turned over easy probably because it has no compression!

Head off job to inspect damage to valves.

Doubt you'll ever get them straight enough to be used again

If valves are bent you should buy new ones. Sometimes valves are bent so little, that it's impossible to say just by looking at them.

Cheapest way to diagnose your problem is simple compression check, and if something is wrong, try leak down test too. That way you will know if it's inlet or exhaust valves, piston rings, HG...

No, they will be 33mm valves, no suitable for Williams, they need emailing to tell them that tbh.

You need 32mm valves.
