I have been trying to nail down the source of a ticking sound that is coming form the engine. At first I thought that it might be that the valves needed adjustment, but after checking and double checking, all the clearances were within spec. The sound is related to the revs of the engine, slower engine speed slower ticking, faster engine speed faster and louder ticking except at higher cruising speeds were all you can hear is the engine. My thoughts at this point is that it could be a noisy injector but I tried to listen to the injectors with a stethoscope but there is so much noise it was not possible to hear anything unusual. Another thing I have read elsewhere is the subject of nailing but I'm not sure what that is exactly. I have been dealing with this noise since summer and it has not caused any adverse performance problems...yet.
I'm planning on getting some Diesel Purge this week and I'm hoping that it will cure it as I have heard it may.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
