My 97 model 200k old engine makes a steady load clacking noise (best description) only when started after being shut down for hours or each morning. When the oil light goes out the noise stops. Have checked the valve gear, cam, timing gears, bearings etc all are unmarked, even plugged the oil galley to the rocker shaft and the noise stayed the same so its not in the valve gear. The QD engine is not popular in Australia, only used in the Navara and forklifts, widely used in Asia I believe. I was a auto mechanic years back and was hoping someone with experience in the QD engine may have an answer or knows of something which can help.
Where can you check for NISSAN Service Bulletins.
Anyone with the same engine, would you kindly lift the bonnet one morning and listen for this noise, I would appreciate for feedback.
