6 Taps / second @ idle: Not a rod?
Thanks Skippy, for that and especially the "silly suggestion". It is definitely in the 6 beats per second range. Also the oil doesn't smell burnt, oil pressure is good, and runs cool (about 80C at an ambient of 80F).
Since I adjusted the valves (no difference), cracked each injector (no difference), listened all over the place with the H.F stethoscope, could hear it loud on the injector pipes, and faintly to not at all everywhere else. Will go back once again with the stethoscope just to "triple check". Still planning to pull the oil pan for a look-see, i.e. metal shavings etc, and wondering if it is possible to wiggle the rods to determine if they have excess play, or do they need to be unbolted and visually checked or plasti-gaged? Have to decide soon whether to sell it cheap locally, or chance the trip north. Found enough of the engine # to determine it is definitely a turbo. ed . |
