thank you for the very helpfull info

the clatter is constant ,not just on a hill ,worse when cold
sounds like the valves need adjustment ,Ill have to enquire af the mechanic as it sounds tough !
I could do the plugs ,Id inspected the points and they are in great shape;
yes the fellow did pull the pan then the crank then the pistons out the bottom of the engine to fix the rings supposedly thatwas the way not to have to pull the engine perhaps I was gettiong my leg pulled
