Engine rattles when running - like metal on metal rattle - sounds expensive....

First step was to check valve clearances - cheap solution if thats the problem.....

But no - on removal of the Cylinder Head cover........ Engine Very Bad.....

This is my Timing Chain Guide Rail

Next step is to source parts, gaskets, and I may as well do the Sprag and Clutch plates whilst we are in there.....

Updates when I have the stomach for it.....
