Oil pressure switch / indicator for proper func-
tioning.

Oil pumps performance using a suitable pres-
sure gauge. If low oil pressure is not on account
of above factors, wear of journals/bearings is in-
dicated for which overhaul of engine may be
considered.
•
Leakage through oil pumps back plate.
4. MECHANICAL FAILURES
Defective water pump, idler tensioner, air lock in
HLA, damaged turbocharger, engine mounts or al-
ternator can be a source of mechanical noise. Defect
can be located by replacing alternator, water pump,
engine mounts, and idler tensioner with a new one.
Metallic knocking sound from an engine may be due
to faulty injection, excessive clearance in main and
big end bearings, small end bush, tappets, piston
slap, seizing of piston rings, scored cylinder bore or
breakage of any moving parts. Overhauling of fuel
system will set right Diesel Knock. Dismantling of
engine may be considered if still noise occurs even
after attending all above mentioned problems. Check
for EMS problems if any.
