    https://vimeo.com/479612967 sorry cheers for checking i hope ive done it right this time and i cant describe the noise its too painful 🤣

    Yes video works this time, afraid it sounds like big ends or broken / seized tappet(s) - does the noise come from top of engine or bottom.

    How many miles it done.

    I would stop driving it needs work done ASAP not cheap keep driving and you will need a new engine.

    Tappets easier to fix and check by taking rocker cover off.

    If big ends go it will put a hole through your block and piston possibly bend valves = Scrap engine.
