What flush did you put in the car? There is nothing you can put in your engine that will melt/disolve porcilain...

If it's stopped ticking... dosn't mean it's fine.

FFS! at very least get a compression test done.

Paying someone to look at it is relativly cheap. Best case- you pay someone a couple hundred bucks get a compression test and to put a scope in and check it out. Worst case- you dive it around till it it destroys the head, bore, piston... then little bits of piston/bore/valve do get into the oil and get sucked through the engine. Total loss.

$200 or $4000 ???

It sounds like it was lifter noise from not being started for a long time after all. The flush might have cleared that.

I would still check compression.

Get the fattest piece of hose you can get through the plug hole and still wiggle around, tape one end of the hose to the most powerfull vacuum cleaner you can find hose , empty the vac before you start so you can see what you've managed to get out , now , shove the taped on hose down the plug hole n start vac'n and wigglin .

When I changed my spark plugs the other day I noticed the spark plug from cylinder 6 had some porclin from around the tip broken off.... not sure when this happened but im guessing it happened when i accidently boosted it to 1.6bar a few weeks earlier.... I was in second and saw the needle go past 1.5 n backed off straight away n i think it detonated which in turn caused the plug to break

Im guessing the damage has already been done

anyone else have this problem?

detonation from overboost wouldnt break a spark plug.. they break either from force, or from excessive heat then force.

in other words you smash them with a tool or something, which is alot easier to do when theyve been baked.
