HDI top end knock near HP pump

[pugbug]

Put a new engine, all seemed fine till it later developed a knock/rattle, you can hear it on tick over just slightly but it starts to make a real clatter beginning at 2K revs, I don't think it is a collapsed lifter, any ideas?

[Toms306]

Sure its not one of the pulleys?

[pugbug]

Not the crank pulley, that's billet, all new tensionsers and pulleys on the timing side.

[Ruan]

They could well be new, but are you certain nothing has come loose?

I'd be taking off all covers to ensure it's nothing there.

[pugbug]

I should have made it clear in the first post, the noise is definitely coming from within the engine, sounds like piston slap.

[Toms306]

Was it a used engine? If so, was it good before removal? Anything changed between?

If its been dry a while the lifters do clatter for a bit while they fill up but doesn't take long to quieten.

If its definitely internal I'd hope its just a lifter tbh.

engine was £50 complete won it from an auction on ebay with spelling mistakes, the seller was trying to weasel out of it, I sold the HP for £50.

The engine very hard to turn over, indicating it had been left standing for a while.

I've put some wynnss lifter treatment and some injector cleaner.

Is that it?

[pugbug]

effectively free engine

There are soooooo many DW10TD's around it's unreal, a complete engine can be had for next to nowt these days

[Toms306]

Lol, I've scrapped a couple of HDi engines as I couldn't even give them away!

You sure the knocking isn't a faulty bonnet catch?

[pugbug]

Bad-dum-tish!

[Poodle]

Probably a dead engine then.

Does it seem like it's running alright though?
