PJ,
I am certainly not an expert on the multi-fuel ( or any other diesel
engine, for that matter ) however I have had 2, 7.3 Navstar engines that
had what sounded like a loose rocker arm. After a diesel mech checked the
valve train was found O-K and the "ticking" turnrd out to be a wrist ( or
piston ) pin. Other than the noise there was no other symtom.
