Finally found time to start snooping around the rear cylinder to see what was creating the (presumably) heat-related noise.The head looks OK with nothing obviously broken or bent yet; it's a '56 head, with the later o-ring manifold. Would have liked '52 heads, but am happy not to have the hassle of the plumber's nut intake.
Scoring in the cylinder looks a little ominous. Wonder if the piston has similar marking. Pete's coming to have a look-see this weekend as I have no idea what I'm doing!

Did someone forget the circlips for the gudgeon pin?
Er... no. Can't be bothered relating the tale yet again.
Both barrels off my '56 ... blown head gasket and mystery noise ... I'm with you all the way mate !
