Working with a friend on his hilux.
We are stumped on a sudden engine knock in his 5L.
Not down on power.
Doesn't smoke.
Doesn't use oil.
Engine isn't shaking
Little blow by out of crankcase
Fuel Filter was ancient on it, which we replaced. Would a bad injector cause knock without completely rocking engine?
Would Exhaust leak possible make this sound? Saw puff of smoke out of header when engine shut off. Hidden under heat shield though.
Sounds like knock is coming from top end, not bottom
Putting hand on oil filter i don't feel it shaking or vibration.

I think next step is to take off Valve Cover.
