·month ago it was almost the same - engine was knocking when loaded.
Changed upper chain and tensioner. Didn't have chance to get lower
chain changed - too much to deal with to get there. Problem persisted
and then we've figured out that it was bearings on the crankshaft -
they were terrible by that time. Changed bearings - rod and
main. Problem went away but I screwed timing by 1 tooth. Thanx God I
was wrong "in right side" so was driving for ~100 miles with wrong
timing and then we changed it to correct one - no noise at all -
everything was fine.
I've done long trip from NM to NJ (2100miles) and cause of the
previous collision I was running with 1 radiator fan missing and once
or twice engine got heated but I've mentioned that and stopped to give
it some rest.
After this trip knocking came back but it is different in the way that
it doesn't knock when engine is cold. Knocking appears on load when
engine is at its working temperature.
Question: Is that crankshaft bearings again? Could they go bad again
so fast? I would love to check them again cause anyway it is time to
change an oil but don't have a torque wrench to put them back on. Or
may be there can be another problem? will check valve clearance anyway
but think that it is not a problem...
Thanx in advance for any advice
