Well more even more bad news Found this while cleaning the head

Hi there Thanks for the advise I haven't started yet as I'm waiting for parts to arrive. Was there marks on the bore so that i can check without taking the bottom end off. Also how hard was it to change over to a new piston and bearings ect Thanks for the reply as I didn't think about piston slap.

Ok I took the head off today and found all 4 inlet rods where bent by a bit Plus halve the valves are stuck open. Going to do timing chain at same time. Thank for the advise guys I will keep you informed as I go. Many thanks Adam

Just to update I did as above and undid a injector at a time and found the knock disapeared when I undid the rear piston injector feed. New injector (good make) and put back together and it still knocks and i think misfires Rev very slowly it's fine until about 2500 then knocks until I leave if...

Thanks for the advise I checked the pick up and it's all clean. Thanks anyway.

Video of knocking and smoke

Hi there I tested all parts prior to filling No blue boxes. It's strange because tick over is good. I thought black smoke was unburned fuel.

Hi all I replaced the fuel lift pump Injector lines Filter And fresh fuel with a flushed tank Filter was full of off diesel White smoke now gone Now it's knocking when I get above about 1500rpm Plus grey /black smoke at the same time. Do you think it's timing? Many thanks Regards Adam
