Lucy1978:
it's easy enough to take the rocker covers off to see what's happening in there, that'd show if the cam is fine, you could take the plugs out and stick a bit of dowel down each hole to check each piston is moving correctly.

Burning oil would be rings or stem oils seals wouldn't it?  Although you didn't say it was actually burning the oil, what does the coolant look like? is there oil over the outside of the engine?

Solved
Multiple head gasket failure, and a knakerd starter motor
it has simply just sat there all summer while i have been busy like a mad man doing shows and other stuff had an offer from matt savage to buy the front timing cover and oil pump for a decent price, have to drain the oil, there was more water than oil,
oil loss caused by head gasket,
if only the ex owner had checked it before setting off on a 3000 mile trek i wouldn't own it now  :lol:
decided not to sell engine bits and strip it and see how bad it is
