The other night my car cut out on me with some very nasty sounds coming from the engine, it starts sometimes but when it does it sounds horrendous.

Pulled all the sparks and coils out yesterday and found on spark had been crushed and they were all soaking with petrol, I'm not sure how the spark would have been crushed, but it could be the Pistons cracked or bits have come off or the valves

Anyone have an ideas, I'm a bit stumped
 
Did you use original sparks? It's happened to me once but luckily the parts of the spark were hanging on the spark itself the problem was just with the ignition and the car did not run fine.I wish you all the best, by the things described you have a total.Do not try to tun the car engine anymore it has to be serviced.
 
If you do not intend on repairing the engine yourself then I would suggest just getting a replacement second hand unit, off a scrapped rear ended Bravo/GP.

Taking the engine apart and diagnosing it will cost quite a few bucks, add to that the parts and the time to put it back together and it might get very expensive.
 
try new plugs and get the car plugged in to check sensors (y)


sounds as if he's done that..,
has all the marks of detonations to me,
IF you're worried about removing the head, use a cheap ( @ £15 = ebay) borescope down all 4 x plug holes,
then you'll get an idea of what's going on,

TBH - IF it sounds BAD running, then it's probably toast : - (
