right been having a few problems with my engine nothing too bad yet lol , , but noticed a rattle/ camshaft/hydrolic noise which was makeing the engine miss/run rough as its seems to get louder)  from the clyinder head as its been doing this for a while, so after doing a compression test found no2 clyinder was down on compression , i thought the worst , ie , bent valve, piston issuse , , so , after removeing lifters,and checking camshafts ,which were fine , i added some of this

added to the oil and fired it up , with in 5mins of idioling the noise has gone sounds loads better and the engine isnt missing and back up on compression ,,
next , ive had a bit of a boost leak so made a quick boost tester and added a few psi of air , found a small leak on the ecu vacum pipe so repaired it , dam engine pulls now ,,

did a small mobile video , sounds lots better
rather chuffed
