Not got this on a 1.4 but have on my wifes 58 plate 1.25... thought it was the followers or maybe the cams (she ran the oil a little low) but had the cam cover off and lobes look fine and no marks on the followers either... checked oil pressure and getting 50psi on idle...

I don't have much experience with modern Fords as I am a VAG man (I know the 20v 1.8t inside and out) but the noise suggests top end issues but its noisy below too...



Any ideas gratefully recieved as I have asked about on this and it seems that Ford don't carry or supply shells or other such engine parts should a rebuild be needed... the noise doesn't sound typically big end bearing related

Other than buying a new engine (which seems a tad extreme) I am looking at salvaged engines... hers is the 60ps version but most I have seen are 80ps... don't know if the power difference is engine related or just in the mapping (like it is on VAGs)

Thanks
