URGENT PROBLEM - Last post of the thread, car won't run properly at all and sounds pretty sick! Any help much appreciated!

I had my head rebuilt a couple of months back, ever since it has been on the car it sounds like a diesel from somewhere up top. Took it down to Lynx for a couple of other little issues and Nick said it didn't sound too healthy but it's not a tapper, I've whipped the inlet cover off as that is where it seems to be coming from but don't really know what to look for.

Click for cam pic.

Noise is definitely cambelt end, cams look to be in good nick to me? Is the scuffed look on the shaft between the lobe normal? It has them all along so I'm guessing so.



This vid is from when the engine was first put in but shows how bad it is sounding.

Any help much appreciated it is doing my nut!!

Cheers

Ok, I did wonder how they would catch anything in there! Checked the plugs are torqued up, and coil packs are on nice and tight, even tried a new set of plugs and spare coils to make sure it wasn't them.

Have you checked the cam pulleys out? One of my cam pulleys decided to crack where the spoke joins the outer of the pulley (if that makes sense) so if yours has cracked and come away slightly it could make a tappy noise.

(Not sure if it is that, and cant listen to the video at work)

Worth a try, but I guess you have already checked them out?

check your inertia switch.

does sound shit though, might be exhaust related.

Got the bugger started, was annoyingly simple just flooded. However it will not run properly on the new MAP sensor, refuses to idle, pig to start and doesn't sound like its firing on all 4 when it does.
So:
Original MAP - Long starting time, difficult to idle, bit of blue smoke when pumping throttle. Flagged up as reading too high and being knackered by Lynx.

Spare MAP (with loom connector changed) - Long time starting, even more difficult to get to idle, less smoke.

New MAP - Will not idle, very difficult to start with plenty of blue smoke, misfires and I think is what caused the engine to flood.

When it idles it is under 1000RPM and solid as you like, and very rarely will start and idle straight away. Can anyone confirm that the MAP wiring is 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 when changing the connector as it does run the opposite way to the old plug. So at the moment I have spent two days and some money only to end up just slightly worse than where I started, and the new part appears to make things much worse. Thoughts?

indeed not.

I would get a diagnostic check done., see what the live data comes back as.

Any more thoughts gents? New MAP has made it worse, getting truly fed up with it not running right!!

Literally done nothing do it, bar leaving it alone for 2hrs and now it starts up like it has been for the last two months, poor starting and idling but drivable. Checked compression and got 198 205 200 200 so all looking good there!
