lol - the engine is currently in bits i am awaiting a p/rod & rocker gasket, will keep ya all posted.
you can check follower using torch looking down from top follower is two parts roller that wont break on cam and brass slide push rod sits on rod can push through ,but can be seen from top with rods outThe valves all appear to be strait as they all close fully ! if there was water in the cylinder the push rod would bend trying to open the valve is what ive come up with - however it all swings on what happens when i fit new rod - could be cam follower yet

charles - the pushrod & ball seemed to be engaged properly before removing rockers !
I am very interested as I have a S3 diesel n/a makes the same noise. I reckon it is the big or small end bearings but I am working on my petrol S3 at the moment.
right i have looked down the p/rod holes & all tappet slides look identical & i cant see anything broken in there - ordering push rod tmoz - fingers crossed !
