Not really, however, if the engine was running it could have leaned out and damaged a valve as the fuel was consumed.
Bill S.Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

I agree , it would have to get pretty hot to damage it internally, and from your description, the fire wasn't that serious. The noise was probably there prior to the fire, and unrelated. Pull both valve covers and see what it looks like inside.

I wore a camouflage T-shirt once. The response in the pub was "Oooh, it's a floating head!" .
