i had a tappet sound coming from my engine, well i thought it was, it was the exact same noise, but only unitll recently it got loud, and the car didnt drive right, and then my girlfriend said she could smell petrol the other day, i had a cold so i couldn't smell it.

anyway, i was in work this mornin, and a customer couldnt be arsed to bring his car in to be fixed, so i was just standin around, i got my car on the ramp, and checked things over, i listen to the noise and it was coming from cylinder 4 (nearest cylinder to the passanger side) i touched the H.T. lead on that cylinder and it was vibrating, i switched the car off and took it out, the spark plug was loose, only on a few threads, so when the piston was goin up and down, the spark plug was rattling, i took it out and the threads were good, so i shoved it back in and the noise has gone, it sounds so sweet now.

i can remember doin the plugs and i definatly did tighten them up.


and also my oil was low, i cant find my EPC, can someone find me a picture of the rocker cover gasket?
and also if theres any seals/gaskets where the distributor mounts to the rocker cover area.

much appreciated thanks.

There's a guide ssomewhere that the boss did for changing the dizzy 'O' ring :D
