I don't like the sound of this (at all...)

Inerestingly, I THINK that when the engine is being turned over there's no noise - only when it actually fires. I'll investigate a little today.

Indycam - Sorry to be a bit thick but why is that? Wouldn't there be some horrible sound regardless of whether the spark plugs were working?
Thanks,

Just got off the phone to Ninemeister, who feel it's a big-end. They seem surprised that the oil-pressure (and every other aspect) was unaffected, however, so there is a ray of hope that it's something lesser. Unfortunately, they can't take the car in until Jan 6th, so watch this space...

Wouldn't a big end failure have some effect on the way the engine was running? Sureley it would I would have thought. I'd be more inclined to go for the timing chain theory, sounds more plausible (and cheaper!!!). Lets hope anyway. Keep us posted.

John,
Maybe you should join the ranks of sundog and I who are in the process of tearing apart our motors!
Kick the wife out of her half of the garage and drop it out! By Jan 6th you'll know whats going on for sure.
Misery loves company?
Umm Errr I mean we would love to have you join us...
