not on the little ends. They will just rattle I would put one of Stu's magnet sump bolts on though.

Just don't abuse it though you could crack a piston at the pin, but I must admit never heard of it on a cossie.

Please correct me if I am wrong

I had a feeling it was a little end and then, when it got mapped by NMS they confirmed it.

Its not very noisy yet, only when cold.

I think i'm just gonna use it this summer and if it fails, i'll break the car and sell up.
