I'm assuming that we're still on for Thursday.

I'm leaving in the morning - driving down to Bristol in the afternoon, staying over tomorrow night for work on thursday. Then to you Thursday night.

won't bring tools as it looks like we'll not be removing heads after all. Added to that, the Holden hasn't got tie-down loops in the boot, so I couldn't keep the toolbox from crashing about properly.

Might be better to drop Kevin Wood a PM - he may be busy with other problems regarding a bent Westfield  to read this thread currently

[2woody]

don't worry - we're in contact

[2woody]

actually - does the Omega need any spares ? I have multiple most things...... but you'll need to tell me tonight

The sound was almost like a hammer hitting an anvil, a horrible metalic sound.
Like Zok says as soon as the leads were changed (thanks to the Frozenman) it was quiet as a mouse.

I even removed the Cam Covers again as it sounded asthough something was under there

Hmmm, wonder if lead to No1 got knackered during plug change, thus the wetness of that pot  :-/

I wonder if 2woody has any spare leads he could bring with him just to try?

might have some V6 leads in the garage, can't remember if they are V6 or S6

[Entwood]

Lets all hope that it really is that simple ...

The day Jimbob learned to change cambelts, was nice of Ljay to let him practice on her car too.

Noise description sounds spot-on.

Very interesting. Something else to check. I must admit, I have heard engines run with non-firing cylinders plenty of times and not heard anything like this but maybe the lubrication on this lump is more easily overcome by a little unburnt fuel?

Me too Kev, and when Mr DTM suggested leads I thought it would never cure a noise like that but it did.

Just read through the entire thread & am sat here with bated breath! I sincerely hope it turns out to be 'summat and nowt'
Got everything crossed for you anyhow
