Weird knocking noise

[Speddmon]

The last time I heard a weird knocking noise, it was the Jehovah's Whitnesses at my back door.

What you let the Jehovah's Witnesses do at your back door is your business. I don't think this forum is any place to be airing your dirty laundry though.

Well i made a hose with a 3/8 tubing on the end! Sounds like rockers! I will order a valve cover gasket and pull it off! Listening is hard from my days of running a jack hammer i couldnt hear a dump truck driving through a dynamite factory!!!

 

[ryan77]

Noise also continues as rpms increase!

Those valve cover gaskets are most likely reusable,i just performed this procedure a couple of week's ago and my gaskets were fine.

 

[ryan77]

Well i adjusted the valves! Some of the exhaust were way out of spec! Sounds much better problem solved thanks for the suggestions guys!!

 

[RAYZER]

No more knock at all?? Did you find any rocker arm cap bolts loose?

 

[ryan77]

No they were all tight i have a slight ticking type noise but not as loud as before! I think that noise is the air compressor!!

 

[RAYZER]

I still have that same tapping noise too,and I can't figure out where its coming from,it's driving me nutts! It sounds like its coming from the turbo side toward the back.

I have to listen to another deuce to be sure thats just not the way they sound! Id to trade or sell it for a 5 ton tractor!

 

[RAYZER]

The multifuels can be noisy,first time I took my hearing protection off while traveling at highway speed,i thought the engine was coming apart!
A 5ton multifuel tractor would be cool, there are some in the classifieds!

 

[ryan77]

Id like one with a cummins and automatic!!! Yes there loud when i drove mine home from Alabama i thought i was going to go deaf!!!

The noise is definitely half engine speed, so that would indicate something in the valve train.

Question were you able to do the valve adjustment by yourself (one man ) and how long did it take you? I think my valves need adjustment as well. Am I correct in assuming you need to rotate the engine by hand?

Thanks

U need 2 people i had my wife stand on the bumper and watch the 1 valve close while i turned the motor over by hand under the truck! Its all in the tm! Took about a hour to do the job and 3 hrs of the wife complaining she got grease on her shirt!!

To make it a one man job I used a remote starter switch hooked to the “magnetic relay” and used a compressor wrench to fine tune the position of the rocker arm.
