Thanks for all the advice guys.
Failed chain tensioner on 1-3 bank was the problem. Luckily Chain locks had been fitted at last engine works so chain did not come off cauing valve/piston damage. No need for engine out as said above.
Picking up car tomorrow.

Thanks for all the advice, I am not confident enough to take chain covers off.

Sorry about vid, if you are patient you can get it to work.

Thanks for your thoughts everyone. The noise starts gradually a few seconds after the engine starts from cold, quicker i think from warm start. It increases in frequency as engine revs increase until it is continuous. I think I have managed to load a clip of the idling sound below. Apologies if it d...

I am looking for recomendations for someone to look at the Sportomatic transmission on my 1968 911L.

I think I am now at the stage where I need some knowledgeable profes...

I'm very pleased with the look close-up. Not out of my garage yet. I will post image la...
