Top End Rattle

Hi All

I am after some help, I was driving home from work today and noticed a rattle that seem to be coming from the top end, very tappety. It is on both idle and moving but is very inconsistent not always there. I have checked the cam follower and all okay. Worried it could be something major. Any help would be appreciated. :confused:

Very good read, it gives me a starting point. Many thanks  :happy2:

So I had a bit of further look into the rattle, checked the cam follower and was in very good condition. I then followed the cam chain tensioner replacement guide to check the state of play inside. Got the cam chain cover off and inspected the camshaft only to find the below.


I am guessing this is not great, but what other potential problems do I need to look for. Any help would be very much appreciated. :confused:

Not good, have you got a photo of the end of the HPFP piston
