noticed a loud sort of knockin ticking noise comin from engine so i investigated ,..... and both the ht leads that aint covered by tmic were not in prroperly then i pushed them properly back in and drove round for bit checked again a couple more times and it keeps happening :(

Does anyone know or have any ideas as to what be causing this to happen ...??:confused:

is there any sign of oil around them mate as the spark plug ports have little rubber gaskets around them and oil escapes pushing them out!, though there may be other reasons!.
