    How poorly is my engine? Knocking?

    Hi, can I get a few opinions please.

    My engines not sounding good and it doesn't idle right.

    One friend says the bottom end is knocking another say it doesn't sound like that and it's the top that sounds bad.

    Before I start buying new engine I just wanted a few more opinions. What do we think it is?

    It sounds top end to me. Have a look through the oil filler and see what the cam looks like. Get a picture if you can. Does is carry on at all revs or stop after a few thousand?

    I've dropped it off at my mates but I can get a pic Monday. Sounds normal when driving and after a few thousand revs

    Would that contribute to it idling crap and stalling when coming down off the revs?

    That's the big ends. Vvt rattle goes when you increase revs.

    So in answer to your question, very poorly.

    Thanks. Should there exhaust smoke at all if it's the big ends?

    It's clean as a whistle at the back as you rev it
