Ok ok so I know that was very brief!

I just had a look at everything! And to my surprise ....

On my cam on pot 3 one of the cam lopes has totally rounded!!

VERY strange!! :/ why just one lobe?

Anyone know what could of caused this?

Also on the same lobe the rocker thing it uses to push the valve down is rattling!

Hence the knocking :)
