Hi there. I have a newly acquired 96 E300 Diesel. I just took it for a ride and really got on it. Afterward it is really knocking and it does not sound good. It knocks as I rev it and slightly misses. These are pretty stout motors right. I hope something is not about ready to let loose. Any ideas of something that is not serious? I have put pressure on the front motor shock to see if it is bad and it still knocks while I have pressure on it. I also had the intake off so I guess maybe some egr gunk got sucked in. But would that make it knock or just idle rough.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
