Hello Oerthedge21, I have read this thread many times. I am going to throw out some thoughts, here goes.
Has the frequency of the noise changed? Louder or softer, the same since engine work?
You stated in post 210 that the ticking was louder in the cab. Have you checked the bell housing, flywheel bolts, pilot bearing, clutch assembly?
Input shaft into transmission? Does the transmission shift ok?
And when ever I take the oil pan off any engine I will check thrust bearing, and crankshaft, rod walking, rocking. Easy enough to do with a large screwdriver.
And plastic gage is a necessary diagnostic tool when ever bearing clearances must be known. Trust no-one when turning crankshafts, bearings are to be checked and verified.
The engine may have been sour since rebuild.
A lot of good help here and we are wanting to get this machine back in Service.
Good Wrenching!
