Loud knocking sound coming from my engine, seems to be coming from passenger side/middle of engine. The noise is louder when the engine is warm.
Took the compression and all the 8 cylinders were equal. Plugs looks good. Not even 2000 miles ago I sent my motor for headstuds, new rings, honed the cylinders, new oil pump, valve/seat valve job and they changed both left (primary and secondary) timing chain tensioner and the right main tensioner.
Took the engine out and removed the valve cover and everything seems visualy fine.
Drained the oil, Removed the timing cover and turned the engine with a wrench. The passenger side timing chain is becoming loose at a moment when I turn the engine. Could this be my problem for the knocking sound ? Or it is normal because there is no oil pressure ?
How can I test the tensioners?
Please look at the 2 videos
Thanks!
