As always its very difficult to diagnose noises over the internet, but someone experienced should be able to tell you by listening to the engine running.

cant bend a push rod surely??????

antk:
dont no when the cambelt was last done  :?

no history with it when i bought it.

maybe i should get that done then asap.

antk:
deffo not any kind of rod its not the right noise to be something like that.

Rasbo:
if you do the cam belt, treat her to a new pulley seals at the same time as it will save you further agro in the future.

 :-k....If you think its possible water got sucked up, first thing i'd do is whip off the sump and check everything looks as it should i.e. no bends. Also its pretty easy to check the tappets rods etc. i've heard that the rocker arms can fracture aswell.  Dont know if its possible but can you post the noise from a recording, maybe from a phone etc. Its very hard to give accurate advice without hearing the sound.

Dose the engine run as smooth as it did without he noise. If not check the timing of the fuel injection pump.

Hope it helps
