I am fighting the same battle! After reading this info from the following link, I am convinced it is nailing. I have done diesel purge, replaced injectors, though come to find out my "new" injectors will be as bad or worse than the ones I took out. Off to the local injector rebuild shop.

Read this, great info about rod, wrist pin, and bearing noises...
