does sound like a rod hitting the inside of the barrel, but doesn't sound like
it's not firing on a cylinder.

started stripping today, found the crank pully nut was loose, so I re-tightened
it and re-fitted everything.... fingers crossed..... turn the key......
**** it's still the same , so started to strip it again......
Went in the garage tonight and started re-assembling the other engine..
