Well I found a crack in the manifold to EGR pipe....
ooooh, would be nice if it was that, right area, but....i reckon the noise is too loud and knocky for that, exhaust is usually "futty" ime, but here's hoping.
 :)

Indeed but, needs ruling out as clearly its a fault  :y
:y

The optimist in me says that whilst the gas leak might not have caused the noise we heard, perhaps the EGR valve was getting a battering as a result due to lack of back pressure between exhaust events. :-/

And might account for the lack of 'clank' while only cranking :-/

My gut feeling is the crack on egr pipe would sound more like a failing exhaust manifold gasket, rather than noise I thought it was?

But here's hoping :D

what about the 'stiffer' exhaust valves on pot 1 ?

Has your MV6 got EGR?

Is the nut on the flexible pipe done up properly?

Your initial comment about the noise being more rapid than a sticky lifter makes me wonder if it isn't caused by exhaust pulses making giving something a hammering :-/

I don't remember getting an answer to that question :P

I did get an answer (but I forgot :()

Make sure you don't pull on the Gas Tight Box... It'll break and you have to remove the multivalve to replace it :o :o :y

[edit]I'll re-word that... Make sure TB doesn't pull on the box, he'll break it. You probably wouldn't have the strength ;D ;D[/edit]
