Hi, i have a Komatsu D41A-3, any ideas on this Horrendous rattle? its from in motor (not radiator fan) it was puffing quite a bit of smoke out of valve cover breather (and oil top up when caps removed) no metal shavings on dipstick, it had a complete rebuild around 10 years ago and has probably only done 50ish hours since then. I took valve cover off everything from eye looked ok.
Ive seen other diesels with same sound with bad injector, i tried cracking off each one but made no difference to noise.
I bought a cheap oil pressure gauge which got no reading, and with sender bolt removed (on back of oil filter) no oil even come out when it was running, would this be showing a bigger problem rod broke or similar?
Thanks
