One other thing is after a delete don't lug your engine. It's getting way more oxygen so peak cylinder pressure is higher. Keep RPM's up when working it hard. A boost gauge and pyrometer is a must when it has been modified and you need to drive it more like a mechanical engine.pushbroom and daf105paccar Thank this. -

I use this pass through socket set for doing valve sets on paccars. Center is open to run a t style allen wrench.
Paccar rockers sit low in the head so a wrench doesnt fit good.splittero1, spsauerland and daf105paccar Thank this. -

Tapping noise is RPM related? Could be valve train related, should show up on a top set. Injectors can only be tested in the truck. I have been able to do cutout/performance tests on deleted paccars. Turbo is a holset VGT, same as on the ISX's. I would go after the tapping noise first, assuming that will also fix the black smoke issue. The VGT actuator has to be calibrated with a laptop before install, just FYI before you pull it off.
When you do the topset if a valve is tight (no lash) I would check the valve height against the other valves.
No to jump to the worst possible outcome, but I have had Paccars drop valves then the valve jams up the turbo. Tapping noise and black smoke.
Topset is the first step in diagnostics. Then go from there.swaan and spsauerland Thank this. -
Is it black smoking just under load or @ idle too. I am with @pushbroom, sounds valve/camshaft related.
