Your pistons should be cam ground, which means their largest diameter is opposite the pins. That area is also major and minor thrust for the combustion event. While I cannot see the depth of the scoring; cold start hard running (not letting it warm up) and/or overheating can cause this. This is probly not the source of the noise. I assume the noise was at crank speed? I also assume you didn't see copper on any of the bearings, but did you plastigage the mains and rods? Tedious yes, but you need to know on start-up if the knock will be gone. The wrist pins can't be too loose. Lightly oiled, you should not feel any looseness as you rock the rod in the piston. Did you check the flywheel for looseness? Did you check for adequate oil pressure cold and hot? And was the knock deep sounding or a rap on acceleration. How the knock sounded would give you a lot of information. Since a shop ruled out injectors could it be carbon. They can give a rod type knock. Stick to your evidence. Hope this helps. Gerard

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
