Not been driving my car much this year but has had it regular services with Toyota recommended oils. About 2 weeks ago I had a good drive around the country lanes, wasn’t fast driving but cruising around. Was about 30-40mile round trip. Parked it up for the night. Woke up next day to drive my partner to work I started it and it sounded like a proper Subaru I mean that rumble sound. I drove it 5 mins to her work and it cut out. Wouldn’t start. It didn’t run very well driving there either. I thought maybe it was just cold and had a misfire. I checked oil, level was fine. I left it for a few hours and got my dad to come have a look as he runs his own garage. Got it stated, it sounded like metal clunking so shut it off instantly. Got it towed home and waited till today to get it to the garage. Got sump off and found all this inside. First thing I see is the valve head. Here is a picture of most of bits in the sump.
only mods are decat exhaust back.
I checked my car for the valve spring recall but it does not come under the right vin number. Should I speak with Toyota about this or is this just my own problem to deal with now it’s out of warranty?
Appreciate any help or advice anyone gives
[EDIT - This car is at 65k miles]
Thanks
Sean

Hello everyone i'm Sean from Swindon. Have had this 86 since October and i'm absolutely amazed by it. Been abit of a lurker since so thought it was time to introduce myself.
Here is a couple pics from my drone that I took just down the road from the Grand tour test track.
I have also added a few pics of my old car which is sadly missed! I did not crash it a Honda drove into it when it was parked outside my house also causing the s13 to fly back into my golf.
