Wonder if you might have broken a ring or piece off the ring groove and that is what is hitting and rattling. Agree about the compression check though. Any chance you or your mechanic could borrow or get access to an inspection camera you could stick in the plug hole before tearing things apart. Rigid has a small one called SeeSnake Micro designed for that and other purposes. The smaller head would fit right in the plug hole.http://www.ridgid.com/Tools/SeeSnake-micro and am sure Germany would have something similar and probably better.
