I was driving to my mates and nearly got outside his house and the car spluttered and cut out so i started it again and it struggled but did fire up but missfiring and a nasty rattle then cut out so i we towed it to mine and it will run without cutting out but is really sick, it sounds like a valve could be bent because its got a harsh rattle when it revs and its missfiring. Anybody had thiss or know what it might be? I only had the head off a week ago today and reseated the valves and it ran sweet as a nut. could an injector cause it to rattle bad? low on oil? somebody give me sugestions please.
