Sumat is rong!

Hi all
I have a series 3 SWB 2.25 diesel 1982. Going to work this
morning everything seemed fine started as usual drove great then
five minutes later I gradually lost power and a knocking noise
started so I pulled over, engine cut out.
Started her again and As I was only 300yds from work slowly made
it there. Checked all the usual stuff oil ok water was low so I
started her again and after a minute or so the knocking noise
became apparent,sounded as though it was coming from the right
hand side,as you look at engine from the front.
I've got a feeling it is something to with the bottom end just
looking for some answers and advice on what to do next new
engine or a rebuild.
Thanks for looking :thumbs:

It does sound pretty terminal if it has lost power as well.
Not one of those "get better by itself" ones. Difficult to know
without dropping the sump / compression test type diagnostics.
Sorry cant help

Had a problem years ago with my 2.25 3 bearing diesel, loss of
power, dense black smoke, knocking, after removing the injectors
and pump, having them checked and replacing them on the engine,
no better, turned out to be a clogged air filter :rolleye0012:

filter.

Thanks for the quick replies. :smile1
Would those suggestions substantiate the very audible knocking
sound and lack of smoke?
Cheers

has it dropped a valve ?
i had one that did that - take rocker cover off run engine and
look :popcorn:
it was actually caused by damaged little end but it was the
valve that killed it :2mo5pow:

Difficult to tell when engine noises become apparent but right
side noises can come through from the inlet/exhaust manifold;
which goes back to what has been said above.
sticky valve, sticky cam follower/slide, bent push rod, dropped
hot spot, bent engine :o
When mine sounded like a single cylinder cement mixer , turned
out to be a non seated push rod. ::)
As said, remove the rocker cover and start it up and have a good
look at whats going on with each component and it'll be a good
chance to see if enough oil is reaching head topside.
Good luck, hope it isn't as fecked as mine got in the end.
