Is it possible that it could be a tensioner failure that's caused this?

Tensioner looks good though...

get the bugger timed up & see what happens, you may, & only may have got away with it.

You've got to give it a go. Honestly if you'd heard how bad my old estate sounded you'd of been scraping it but instead it's still going strong being driven by Derek of GM6 fame. I know it's hard to believe but I've seen it with my own eyes. Realign and go for broke!!! she'll be fine

Cheers for all the comments lads. Hopefull, timed up it'll be ok. But hey, if I have to rebuild then that's loads of experience I'm getting and Ralf, ironically, will be doing his job of keeping me in work and getting experience.... s'what i bought him for 

Was it running OK before you took the cambelt cover off?

No mate..... it was running but sounded bleedin' awful. If i'd have bent valves would it be running at all

Thanks RB. Certainly didn't sound good. ill get it timed up correctly and see what the score is after that  if it sorts itself, great, if not even better as i really get to strip the bugger down

No worries my car looks worse than ralf in the daylight , 15 yrs of road salt does wonders to the bodywork 

[Webby the Bear]

if i get him fixed ill give him a good clean.... he may just come up nicely. although i havent used any form of fender covers so the poor git does have greasy hand prints on him hahahahaha

[Webby the Bear]

Shit forgot to mention.... i need to get a 30mm spanner for the idlers.... is this a normal wrench/spanner?
