UMMMMMM, not yours I hope??????????.
If so BUGGA.
YES.
It is a LOUD clack, clack, clack, like a VERY sad tappet, but louder.
The engine will be 11 cylinder, and quite rough running.
If kept running, the chances of the valve head parting company with the stem, and doing obscene things to the piston, is VERY HIGH.
I heard of one that dropped the 6B insert (seat), and pieces of the insert were found in the A inlet manifold, kinda scary.
