Thanks HUE166

Definitely a internal engine noise, some of the rattling heard is the gear stick

Easy way to check injectors is to drive the car and just turn ignition off. Or get it high in the rev range and back off. Either way your injectors wont be working. I third a manifold leak.

had a bit of a look see this evening,

injectors leak off test, runs with the comp hooked up

injectors out

endoskop showed lovley looking pistons. bores. spray pattern and valves, expected a lot worse with this milage

Valve cover off

this could be the answer or at least one of them

Thats more common on all types of motors than you think,cam repairs weld them up and regrind them. Pat
