Good Morning Landy Owners!
I have recently rebuilt my TD5 engine by installing a new short block and refurbishing the head, all ancillarys had to be swapped from the old block to the new one and the head was skimmed which I also put new valves put in. Now its all back together but it is experiencing a loud knocking noise which sounds like its coming from the cam cover but you probably know it isnt easy to determine a noise from an engine especially a TD5. Any ideas of why it is doing this???
The block was brand new by a very reputable company and has a warranty so i believe that could be ruled out but why is it doing this??
To give you my background I work on classic cars for a living so I have a broad background of knowledge (i have also done engine rebuilds before) but this is my first major job on my Land Rover, I take care of all my maintenance and repairs on my disco (all the common problems too hit everyone of them!) and have never had any problems although I knew this would not be easy!
Any ideas or anything I can look at???
Regards
Thomas
