as a few of u know i recently posted about my tappets, n after a few replys, a few things that kept popping up on a regular basis were the injectors and plugs. well after some inspection n a bit play i give in n bought a new set of plus n changed them n as i was takin them out i noticed they wernt as tight as they should be. inparticular pot 2, wasnt even tight and was full of oil so i changed them n now the noisey knocking noise from the top of my engine has now changed to a very quiet ticking noise so would that be the injectors ??

but off topic a bit i would just like to say thanks for the advice i now have rid of the annoying knock
