Describe your appearance, bearing in mind "I possess typical female facial features" isn't a suitable response.

A small update.Sitrep update. The cylinder head is out. The issue is clear. The piston and cylinder are fine.
On Monday we need to decide what to order. I'll certainly go for a new full set of valves and gaskets, a visit to the machine shop and I think it would be wise to replace the turbo as well, while we're in there...
Also, the injectors will be sent for cleaning. Something's certainly wrong with the cylinder.
Last week I was delivered a new set of valves (20 of them), a new set of gaskets for everything that bolts on the cylinder head, new head bolts, and new vacuum lines. The cylinder head has been sent at a specialist machine shop, for machining, new valve seats and guides, new valve seals and gap spacing, as the B5204T5 came with mechanical valve tappets, and not hydraulic ones.
Also, the turbocharger got refurbished today. New shaft and seals, plus rebalancing. I should have it tomorrow. The only thing I haven't done is send the injectors for cleaning and testing. Will do, though.
If all goes well, the engine may be assembled by the end of the month!

Congratulations
If your engine is still out you could check the clutch and change it If necessary.
Last week I helped my mate to disassemble a B5254T3 of a Focus ST, because the piston 2 was broken and you couldn’t move the engine anymore, he decided to swap the engine, and bought a used one with 110k km.
The new engine works fine, but he took 1 week off to swap the engine at home.
Luckily he worked as a mechanic in the past.
Currently we’re hunting some vibrations under full throttle, we think the engine mount might be the problem.

The engine is still in the car. The cylinder head is out. But the clutch is fairly new. I had it done a few years ago, when the clutch release bearing exploded.
It's the same engine essentially. The 5 cylinder block is modular. But still non-hydraulic valve tappets in all versions!

Can we honestly think of something an AI couldn't possibly answer or are we past that?

Why, whenever you lose something, it's always in the last place you look?
