Does it ever fail that when you’re getting ready for a trip things start to break? Hopefully, this isn’t one of those times. There’s a “clacking” noise coming from the rear of our starboard Lehman. It’s not as loud as a knocking rod bearing, but seems a bit louder than “normal” valve noise.
It seems to come from the extreme rear of the engine—by the flywheel (if there is one). I did just change the oil and it only took about 12 quarts to reach the high level on the dipstick (vs the 14.5 quarts American Diesel recommends). So maybe it’s low? When I shutdown and restarted, it seemed to be noticeably quieter. The port engine has no similar noise.
Any thoughts?
