Plug was loose, not ant more though. It does sound like the head. It sounds very high up the head on the left as you look at it. I was wondering if it could be a loose cam cap. ( the bit that clamps the cam down ). Very odd noise. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

That's going to need a replacement engine as its the quickest and easiest way to sort out. We have 4 or so engines that could easily be dropped in for you  |

I can get you a price on an engine swap ? Can always swap bits over from your engine to a replacement ie the cam belt kit etc no need to touch the aircon either |

Have you removed the timing belt cover as it may be a timing cam pulley, the three bolt versions have been known to fail, I have had a few that have sounded like that and that was the issue both times.Worth a check?

Good call that ? It did sound a bit top end to me rather than death rattle ? Especially if you have been driving it ? A bottom end gone would let go quite soon if driven ? |

Can you get old Stilly to have a look, At least then you'll have a idea what needs doing before shipping it off for repairbut as said engine replacement is just that, all the bolt on bits get swapped over, even the starter and Alt for example Got engines here as well ________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

As I said, yesterday when I heard it did soynd top end on the pulley side of the head. Well worth a look id say. Unfortunatly the car is quite far from dave but iirc michelle said its booked in garage wednesday. What exactly goes on the pulley just out if interest? Also, the car has done over 200miles sinse the noise. Would the bottom end have lasted that long? ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |
