Here is a clue.
Is this just a fancy question so you can show you get the cyl pressure setup working? Lol

Prolly not related to pilot injection cuz old mechanical diesels rattle too. Fingers likes watching us struggle
Here is a clue.
I hope that's not an actual graph from your data system. We used an Indicom program at CTC, fancy stuff :thumb:
That was my next guess :roflmao:
Can you elaborate on that Fingers? always interested in learning new things
Here is a better graph of position, velocity and acceleration. Keep in mind these are for a piston without load and constant crank RPM.
I don't think it does. You're telling us that an inherent design of a piston engine is to blame for diesel rattle? Then why doesn't a diesel engine converted to CNG or propane rattle? They run the same stroke/bore, and even more compression than a gasoline engine due to available higher octane.
I have no clue what causes the rattle but an old gas engine sounds somewhat like a diesel when it detonates after the ignition being cut off.
Keep mulling it over guys. What happens when you drastically speed up and slow down the crank shaft.....
