Am I the only one that thinks it sounds dead? Its got metallic on metallic noise has a bad miss and sounds like woody the wood pecker on throttle.

That metallic sound is one of the lifters on cylinder 1 which i haven't got around to replacing.

Had a good mate come over and lend me a DFI with all coils to diagnose.

Absolutely zero change, runs identically poorly and this set was known to be totally fine.
Last thing left is fuel, will update once i try a new fuel pressure reg hose from u pull.

Or it could be a mechanical miss like a really bad lifter...
