After having a snapped valve, I?ve had to replace the cylinder head and one piston on my 20 year old Shogun 2.5 tubo diesel.
After putting it all back together the engine runs, but not well. There is a rythmic knocking sound, as though two parts are hitting each other, but only under high revs or a bit of a load. Also there is a lot of white smoke from the exhaust.
I?m not a nvice at this sort of job, though it is a few years since I has a cylinder head of an engine, but it is my first diesel so I may be missing something obvious.
Any suggestions?
