Hi Carolyn Thanks for reply Before my car worse misfire my special engineer came to see and he know one of the cylinder out of control he asked me to change all valves and piston ring. I’ll order repair kids and 16 valves and give to him to install after fixing that the car back to normal but little bit mist. But the other day after 3 months later I’ll go to petrol station to fill the petrol after that I go up the hill when I reached ¾ of the hill I heard the sound tic tic from the engine. My car at home but I appreciated your help as soon as possible Thanks Ese
