Yes ford sent me away mate said that because I had Other people trying to repair the car they didn't want to go over there ground so wouldn't take it on baffled at the minute, the mechanic said the noise was because the valves where firing wrong and there was a flap in the manifold but if the engine is fine compression is fine what else could it possibly be other then timing and the noise is not there at all from cold. Also the power loss lead me to believe I may have bent valves but he said he has ruled that out with the compression test 197 to 201?? Said that's fine for that engine and as you have just said no flap in the manifold mate so god knows where the noise is coming from.
