tapping noise 6.5
 

6.5 90,00 miles on crate engine from GM . engine started blowing very heavey black smoke going up hill ,peddal to the floor 70 mph.did this on second hill about 2 minutes later then it started a tapping noise. had it towed home . could you give me an idea what it may sound like happened to you? Engine still starts and runs ,only drove it about 2miles, but it still has that tapping noise in it.
Thanks,

Sounds like a possible bad injector, had this happen to me. Easiest way to tell is to crack one injector line at a time, if you hear the knocking go away you found the issue. If not I would suspect something else internal.

Thank you, i will crack the injector lines in the morning and post on here what I find out.

Any update on the issue?

have not cracked the lines lines as of yet but hopefully i will get that done today and post my findings .

Thanks for checking because i am not a mechanic by trade and the ones that i have been to have not been to much either!

Thanks agian!
