I had ruled out clutch related problems as the culpret because I managed to make it stop when I changed the lift and vac pumps and injector pipes. I'll change the fuel pump diaphram today and see if that helps

So after changing the stuff above it did improve, but now its back to how it was before. The vibration is worse at startup but its there throughout the whole trip. Whats confusing is it doesn't always do it. Some journeys it's fine and smooth but these are getting less and less. Could it be...

Its still not right. Ffs this is getting beyond a joke now. There is a definate vibration when the engine is revved, I think it'll still be there at idle too if I adjust it back a bit. Now I have a rythmical noise like a cash machine makes as its counting your money, which I think might be...

Thankfully no

Right, I changed the vac pump but it made no difference. The only difference with it is I now have a rythmical ticking noise which sounds like its coming from it? I also changed the lift pump and steel fuel lines from the injection pump to the injectors. When I fired it back up the idle was...

I imagine so, but why would it creek? Normally bearings squeel or rumble

No it sounds like its inside the bellhousing

I changed the gasket last Friday and it seemed to make an improvement. There was still a very slight vibration, but nothing like it was before. I put some miles in over the weekend and all was good, but Monday morning when I left for work the vibration was back. WTF is it?!

Oldseadog - no I haven't, would this cause vibrations even though the brakes feel ok?

My 300 has developed a creeking noise when I press the clutch. I've had a listen and it sounds like its coming from in the bellhousing. When I changed the engine a couple of weeks ago, I fitted a modded clutch arm and put a dab of grease on all the areas that had previous grease on them. It...

Thanks Disco1. I might have found the problem - head gasket blowing at the rear. I checked that already and even did a compression test! I can feel it on my hand when I get in behind. Watch this space...

Ive noticed something else tonight, again possibly unrelated. When coming to a stop, if I coast out of gear foot on the brake and off the clutch, engine idling, as soon as it comes to a complete stop (foot still on the brake) there is a very slight change in engine note

On the crank jurnal? Yes

I didn't check it, I saw there was no damage to the pressure plate fingers, which are no where near as strong as the shaft and didn't think too much of it. If that was the case I'd of thought it would be a constant vibration, but this is worse sometimes than otbers

I used the clutch from my original engine which was fairly new

Theres no noise, its a vibration

It does it at idle

Theres not really much to see, it looks and sounds normal - just feels bad. Is there any internal balance parts that I've overlooked?

Pistons are correct. Cam timing is per manual

The mounts had crossed my mind, but I don't think thats the problem. It feels like (but not as extreme) as when you crack an injector, but the engine sounds fine with no noticeable knocks etc and runs smoothly. When sat in it the whole vehicle shakes like it would with a low idle speed and if I...
