All 4 injectors tested differently. In other words none had the same cracking pressure. The only common thing between them was that none of them popped and fogged like they should have so any one, or all of, them would have cointributed to the knock and the smoke. Given that and the smoke present when running that lead me to believe that they were the cause of the diesel knock I was hearing on the TOP end. No one, not myself, not the customer, not any of any of his guys, heard anything coming out of the engine that sounded like a death rattle from a bad rod.
