Thanks.. Looks like the heads gotta come off and hope for the best.

Apparently the crank has been bent? Sent the head off to see if it can be salvaged and then replace the crank and a bunch of other stuff. Otherwise it needs a new engine! Anyone had any experience finding a second hand engine?

Cheers mate, good to know the option is there.

Passenger side up high, could it be the exhaust gasket leaking.

Get a piece of garden hose and use it as a stethoscope, the noise will sound loudest nearer to the problem and you won't get your ear burned.

This will let you know if it is internal just where the noise is loudest, front back left or right.

Water pump, air conditioner fan belt, just don't put it on a moving object.

Cheers

Mike

Thanks Mike.. Looks like its the crank. But good to know.. Cheers
