..so, the original " audible clanging sound" has been re-described as every
other noise that has been noted by members when their engine made an odd-bad
noise. I think we should petition Peter Egan or some other clever wordsmith
to write a piece that will humorously dictate the source of the problem
based on the type, intensity and duration of said noise. Not unlike the
often circulated "use" of tools found in the hands of DIY'ers..
Don't eat too much candy today- it's already hard enough to get in these
LBC's ;~)

G'day
Many thanks for the responses.
The engine runs, there is compression in each cylinder and the car can be
driven.
I have decided that to really ascertain what's wrong, the engine has to be
removed and disassembled. It's an interesting exercise in my car as the
front shroud also has to taken off first as the engine does not fit through
the 100 opening.
Not to worry as the shroud has a crack in it as a result of hitting a dog
some years back and the engine bay is looking pretty crappy. It's been 26
years since the car was restored and it needs work.
Looks as if the work on the Healey Duncan will be delayed for a time.
