Bigjobbo 0 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Blimey, you make it sound very grim! If you've took the head off, i assume you have mechanical know how, and you fear the worst. A loud tick should be reasonably easy to determine wether it's coming from the head or the block, and which side.Sorry if this is telling you to suck eggs. Had a similar problem with a previous engine.... Link to post Share on other sites

Timah89 1 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Sounds like the water pump on the way out - starts as a ticking and then gets worse and sounds like a tank. Change tensioner and belt - 1hr and 100£ at GSF Link to post Share on other sites
