Engine was hot tanked, crank turned, cam bearings installed at the machine shop, new stepped pistons, sleeves, bearings etc... We fired it up for the first time and ran like a champ...however, there is a light "knocking" sound. It seems like it could come from the gears in the front, or possibly #1 cylinder. Shoot me some ideas before I tear everything apart and more of my hair out...this tractor was my grandpa's and was a complete basket case...we have combined parts from three different H's to bring it back to life... Everything was torqued properly etc... Would a loose gear make a noise like that? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Could be a timing gear, could also be a rod bearing etc. One way to tell if it is a rod bearing is pull the plug wire on the suspected cylinder. Won't knock nearly as bad if you find the culprit this way. Could also be a valvetrain issue or maybe even the timing is too advanced and what you are hearing is knock.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
