That thing was running without #3 rod cab attaced to the rod?

Ok, tell us what it was making the knocking. It's been 7 months since you posted it.

The #3 rod end cap came off, and was sitting in the pan. The rod was whacking around like a 13 yr old with a Victoria's Secret catalog.

[bmtimv]

sounds like a lack of oil

[dieseldawg2]

loose valves, timing way off, fuel screw turned way down

[hardcoretam]

How many miles does it have on the clock?

I got a 79 diesel, and when it did run it didn't sound like that at all.
