I have a 95 N-14 460E Celect (not plus) I had it overhauled back in February. I have approx. 40k miles on the rebuild. Replaced the heads kept the injectors. I have been getting a chattering noise when I accelerate and at idle since the rebuild. The noise kept getting worse. I thought maybe it was the overhead so I went in and had the overhead set. It did no good. Drove it for 15k and it still chattered but I noticed a slight knock. It only knocks when the turbo boost is between 10-20 psi. When it starts knocking if I accelerate the knock will go away. Let back off and as the boost drops it knocks again between 10-20psi and will continue to knock. It loves to do it in top gear around 65mph when the turbo hits 10psi. The higher the RPM's the faster the knock. I took it in and had a Cummins Tech ride with me. He thought it was injectors so I dropped injectors in it and re-ran the overhead. It did me no good. I had another Tech ride with me today and he don't have a clue what's going on with it. Any of you good helpful folks have a clue on what might be going on with my old Cummins?
The knock is loud and it still chatters at idle, both seem to be getting louder with time. Please HELP!

Did they reseal the cam followers or have them out at all? Does it grunt really hard them spin free when starting or just spin free, is there any smoke on a cold start that clears up?
SAR Thanks this. -
makes me think you have the wrong rod bearings. cut the oil filter open check for metal, get an oil sample

Surely the wrong rod bearings woulda come apart with all the miles he said he put 40k on it
SAR, olpa77 and cetanediesel Thank this. -
Do you think a bad air compressor could cause knocking? I had my air compressor replaced almost a year ago and now it pushing lots of oil out the dryer. The intake to the compressor is dry no oil coming in. I'm not sure if boost pressure variations could cause a bad air compressor to knock. Just a thought since it's intake comes off the intake manifold. I gotta get that fixed while its still under warranty. -
Man pull the belts all of them and crank it for a min just to see if it quits. Not too long ago we had one come in I thought it was fan hub but pulled belts to be sure still done it, so I thought air compressor, then my son said dad the alt belts are still on I thought wrong side of motor but I want him to learn to do it right not guess. Pulled the alt belts and it quit we turned the pulley by hand and could feel it. I dont understand how the sound was traveling to driver side but it was we even put a steel bar on comp and put our ear on bar sounded like compressor. When you said thats what your tech thought that memory hit me like a ton of bricks. hope that is your problem

it could also be the tops of the liners are gone what they call the fire ring if so you also will have one or more head gaskets out of it.
olpa77 Thanks this.
