Noisy Lifter (one or more)

The factory should have used anti seize compound on the
plugs threads.
If there is something in the combustion chamber unfortunatly
I have no idea how to remove it apart from removing the head.
Any ideas peoples?

ok guys, got it sorted! pulled my left rocket cover off (had to take the intake manifold off to get to it, took out the injector head too just to have a look.

The pictures will explain it pretty much, there were two as I beleive are rocker arms that had come off and were just floating around in there...... it was a prick to get them back in, but got them in, none had come off the other side of the car..........

put it back together and presto.......... fixed.

hmm very good, unusual though

 

[bigdaddycool]

yes very very unusual......... tis a lil weird. no idea what caused that

How do you think these rockers came loose?
Is this the cylinder you had the plug problem?
