Bet that sounded nice before it finally decided to stop.
Started off being a noticeable ticking, then, with a cold engine, really poor performance. Finally a mad dash down the M1 at the end of which it sounded like a badly adjusted cement mixer.
Very lucky to bag a really nice looking complete head off eBay. In black too for £80.

I'm amazed it ran that long, especially seeing the state of the cam bearing surfaces. I assume it's a full engine out and strip to clean all the cag from the oilways and oil pump. Good find with the new head.
