Pull the lower oil pan off and strain the oil for debris...
If it is bottom end, you will have shards of metal there.

Please start by checking chain stretch before you go wasting money and time. It is very much worth checking. You also really need a stethoscope to hear where the noise is from. It could be something as simple as a tensioner!

So your diesel engine is making a timid rattle and u wanna rebuild it???
If it wasn't making a rattle I'd be more worried!! But by all means if you want to re build your engine for something fun to do then go for it. U could pull it of for sure. Just gonna cost u some bucks, time, and frustration.

A Chevy small-block V-8 yes. A set of 8 pistons costs <$100 and any auto machine shop knows them thoroughly, or just buy a complete "long block" for $1500. A M-B diesel, not so easy. The set of 5 new turbo pistons on ebay did drop price to $1300, so jump on that, but insure you can get other critical parts (bearings, sleeves, ...).

If you really, really need an engine, get a recently wrecked car or something that is rusting out. You'll get a bunch of extra parts or can sell the parts to pay for the engine. I bought an entire running car with an engine for $600 at 200K miles. As has been stated here, you're in for a ton of money on a rebuilt, so if you can get a good used one, you should.
These engines were extremely well built. Figure out exactly what is wrong with it before you conclude you need a rebuild. There are lots of stories on this forum about people buying good cars for super cheap because the last few mechanics couldn't figure it out. Dkr. |
