Hydraulic valve lifters

Calling all engine experts.

If you popped open a 2 litre diesel duratorq and found 16 crushed lifters, what would you say caused it?

Interested to know

Oil return blockage

Chain jumped

Fuel injectors overfueled

Nasty MK6

Oilpumpgears teeth worn out and that´s why low oilpress and failed timing chain tensioner and jumpped timing chain????????

[steddy_eddy]

Lack of oil then.

i've seen a couple where too much oil pressure was the culprit.

the timing chain jumps because of a ratchet issue on the tensioner, instead of keeping tension on the chain with the engine off, it does it's own thing.

but usually the timing has moved, valves and pistons have said hello and got to know each other and then said to the head.......you are the weakest link.......good bye
