My shop only charged 3 hours labour and £75 in parts to fix it, and changed the spark plugs for free while they were at it.
Not such a big job.
It will only get worse if it's loose and end in valve train wear, or ultimately a nasty failure. Mine soon progressed to a warm knock that was bad enough for people to say wtf is that?
