Hello kev there is a number of things it could be ,1 has the last owners fitted the rotary disc right at the end of the camshaft or it may be sticking ,2 the oil rings may sticking to the pistons or its worn bore ? 3, It may the filler in the bottom of the sump needs cleaning ,4 Is there any blue smoke from the exhusts , is the oil returning to the oil tank , check these first before stripping the engine down , I hope this helps Yours Anna J Dixon
