All 4 injectors tested differently. In other words none had the same cracking pressure. The only common thing between them was that none of them popped and fogged like they should have so any one, or all of, them would have cointributed to the knock and the smoke. Given that and the smoke present when running that lead me to believe that they were the cause of the diesel knock I was hearing on the TOP end. No one, not myself, not the customer, not any of any of his guys, heard anything coming out of the engine that sounded like a death rattle from a bad rod.
Like I said when I replaced the nozzles the knock subsided substantially, when I took the old piece of what was left of the muffler off even more of the knocking sound subsided as it had internal parts loose and rattling. With the new muffler in place she actually sounded pretty good except for not wanting to idle like it should....which is something I have never seen associated with anything like a bad rod bearing.
Needless to say it came as a huge suprise when I put it in gear and went to move, it came apart. In the end it all comes down to one thing...$hit happens....sometimes and there's nothing anyone can do about it but chase the next weak link til the flow of $hit stops....
