Felt a little sluggish of late,and then started making a pretty bad metallic sound from the top end which continued to get worse. Rocker gasket was leaking too,so i puchased new one and dropped off to the garage that did my top end for investigation....
After checking tappets,rockers,fitting gasket etc no better. They though it might be a valve not seating properly and were about to take top end off. Thought better of that and decided to do a compression check first. Coil pack off,undo plugs - WHOOOOOOA....no need...there already loose ! Yup,the horrible metallic (And id have put money on it) noise was actually 1 if not 2 plugs so loose that once engine warmed up and head expanded air was rushing past the plugs and the ceramic top to the plugs was encased in 'soot' as evidence !
After taking the 4 plugs out,cleaning,copper-slipping and then doing up properly its running 'considerably better' :ponder:
