Ouch, that doesn't sound good!
Are you sure that the rod cap is torqued up properly? Did you
change out the timing gears? I've heard them clack. It could be
in the valve train- if so it would clack at one half of engine speed
(700 clacks per min. at 1400 engine rpm). Wrist pin? Just
thinking aloud here. What was all done in the rebuild? All new
bearings? I once had an oil pump driven gear crack and started
to clack after a rebuild.
I don't know about the glow plugs. Are you sure that the switch
isn't sticking and keeping them on too long? What tractor is this
in? More info would be helpful- keep us posted.
