did "enginemasterbuilder" actually say "do i hear a bad rod bearing?" apparently you have never heard a rod knock. much more crisp and fast (at 1400 rpm it would 'knock' 23 times a second.) sounds like a slightly loose lifter is all

[buchsdrn]

there just bolted on upside down, probably so he can lay the motor on the floor and the headers wont hit the floor

[ashure36]

that sounded sweeett!

@buchsdrn the headers would have hit the engine stand and they fit in either direction. As for the "rod knock" the video was taken on a cheap camera phone and it could not handle the noise at that level.

@digzie1 Diesel uses compression for detonation, with higher manifold pressure. It's slow rev, sounds different, uses different fuel, every indicator I heard was rod or lifter spring. Where in the world do you get oil pan out of this? If this were a about to be dead diesel with no oil, yeah, but at that stage, you've killed the motor, new oilpan or not. Seize-up-knock isn't the same as rod-knock, it's more of a death-rattle.

so you won't be standing on hot headers setting the timing

[digzie1]

also im sure they fixed it by now--04

[digzie1]

could be the crank-oil pan i bent an

oil pan on a cummins diesel and it sounded like a rod knock..

@Yearonecamaro Maybe he is putting turbo's on it?

[elmezz]

its not a rod i bet it it was a rocker not adjusted right new motor you have to adjust um after they pump up with oil you know i would say they was just loose a bit just my thoughts
