Whoops just replied to my own post hahaha

Had me confused :P

Pull the cover back and check as mentioned before..... Don't drive or run it too long if its behind the timing cover or bad things will happen!

Car is in getting tuned at the moment so hopefully it lasts there going to check the belt for me as well could the gears on the oil pump cause this noise?

If your oil pump is cactus, I don't think your motor would be running or that you would have any oil pressure. Best approach, is what I said before, pretty easy to rip off

Big end knocks can sometimes sound as though there coming from the head (i sure know mine did) if it does sound like its coming from the head could be a busted hydraulic lifter. Not overly hard to check but will require cams to be removed, how to repack deflated hydraulic lifters can be found online.

Keep in mind each one has 5 parts and there's 24 of them, so that's 120 tiny parts so if u decided to repack them be carefully as there not cheap

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
