Hue,
You might check the Transmission mount and the differential mount,
before you go looking inside the engine. When you did the timing
chain, did you adjust the valves?
In my experience, and others have far more than I do, it makes sense
to do one repair at a time, then check for the symptoms again.
As they say YMMV........
Good luck and be safe,

Hi all!
So I'm doing the spring work on the fleet and have an
old 82 300d. Well the durned thing vibrates and
clanks a little more then I think it should.
I replaced the motor mounts last year (but did not
replace the little vibration damper) and it marginally
fixed the vibrations.
Anyway, I caught the tail end of a thread last week
about the motor clanking...
I think I have the "clank" and am trying to get rid of
it. My first step was a new timing chain and
tensioner,,, The next step is replacing the
injectors. I have heard that if you have a bad
injector, you can get a pretty bad clanking, like all
heck is breaking loose up in the engine.
Does anyone know the procedure to check this?
Something along the line of "disconnect the fuel line
going to the injectors, one at a time, to see if the
clanking will go away...."
Is that about the long and short of it?
Anyone else know of a problem that would cause undue
clanking in the motor. (the engine seems to run real
strong, with little blue smoke at start up.... the
engine has 122k on it)
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks;
