West Central Iowa | A spun rod bearing could allow the piston to contact the valve(s) and bend pushrod(s). Most of the diesel engines I have seen with a spun rod bearing were described to me by the operator as having a noise high up in the engine which they thought was a valve train problem. On a diesel engine, most of the time what you hear is the piston contacting the head and not a rod bearing knock. Maybe this was the noise (tick) you heard before the pushrod bent. | |
