 Topic: 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 Diesel knock solved

We pulled the head of the engine the other night, thinking it was a bad valve spring. We had a friend come down have a look and he found that number 6 piston is slightly striking the cylinder head. Just enough to leave an impression of the number on the piston top in the carbon in the cylinderhead. Now we have to tear it down further and determine the cause.

That's what I found on my D17D. Had 3 pistons hitting the head. Excessive milling on the deck of the block, probably to correct sleeve counter bores was what was wrong with mine. Check the piston stand out on all cyls. I don't know if it will be the same as the 262, but since they are very similar, the stand out might be the same. Spec on a 262 according to the original blue prints is .002 to .029. The compressed head gasket measured .055. The pistons hitting measured .060. All of my connecting rod wrist pin bushings were considerably worn on the beam side. It took a new block to fix mine right.

Can't see how the rod would be stretched....I'd wire wheel the pistons and check the standout...then go from there. Maybe get out the angle grinder :-)

I had the block decked .022 to correct the sleeve stand out problem, then had the pistons cut to match. Runs good. Utube/Matt Pehl, click on tractor going away with fat guy on left fender.

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

Co8uld it be just carbom build up?
Maybe heck for con rod wear allow piston to hit on ex stroke, check rod bearing...
If lower pan comes off, might want to rering engine on all cyl .. Rod streatch? kind of doubt that, rod bent maybe. Gasket to thin to begin with, possible.
