My 300tdi starting making a knocking noise after driving it for about 1 minute. As it warmed up, the noise got louder and more distinct. It's a compression sound, definitely not metallic even though it's hard to tell in the video. Any ideas?

 
I was afraid it might be the HG...would I be able to feel any air coming out between the header and block?
 
Just checked and I'm able to feel air pulsing out the back of the engine :(
Now to order a new HG. I'll look for some tutorials on the site. Thanks for the help!

Its not difficult , the rave manual helps a lot. Plus there are quite a few Youtube videos.

Cleanliness ,taking your time and getting the torques right.

I fitted the layered metal gasket.

Cheers
