I was driving home from Victoria yesterday and the car started to make a loud rapping noise and seemed to be missing on one cylinder. I limped it into a garage in Ladysmith and the mechanic there seemed to confirm my suspicion that either a rod was getting ready to fly off or that there is some kind of valve dislocation problem.

It had been 'ticking' at idle for quite a while now but always settled down and ran perfectly once up to speed. Been a remarkably good winter driver.

A clear clack clack clack clickety clack sound. Any other possibilities? I could bring it to the attention of the garage mechanics when they open a few days from now.
