I could see the video from my phone.

Many very experienced and knowledgeable people on here and I certainly enjoy reading everything and many times learning things. We haven't gotten very much further with this due to some other pressing things, but will. New injectors made no difference at all. Just today however, the guys are working on  a four cylinder version of this Kubota  engine and sent me the attached video clip. Sounds very similar to my noise. Weak valve spring in the head, see what you all think. If you click on this, at the bottom it says "go to link" and it will get you there. Sorry, haven't been on a computer since I retired and just got my laptop back from my son who fixed it, so figuring how to get this texted video to attach to the email was a chore and not sure if this was the way, but it worked! Lol

I wonder though if there could be residual fuel from an unfinished burn caused by yet unknown reason. Maybe carbon buildup in pre combustion chamber which may cause higher compression or poor atomization. Maybe Cecil's thought of loose or cracked pre combustion chamber. Unseen crack in the head, causing an improper mixture, or maybe even a piston pin bearing we missed. Still dont know how soon we can get it inside and apart, as we need to get a place ready. Don't want it apart outside, and this time it could be apart a little longer than the others.

Knock piston 5.  You might follow this thread to see if there was a solution

Would combustion be complete, or would there be leftover fuel that could change things on next compression stroke, and maybe pre ignite causing the knock?

Swept volume is .547 liter, giving combustion chamber volume of .0238 liter.  Now, what-if the con rod was 1mm too short?  That adds .0059 liter to the combustion chamber, now .0297 liter, which drops compression down to 18.4:1

But it's not traveling to close to the head as there would be damage showing. Just have this new concern about the wrong rod being put in by mistake, but that would have been short, not long.

Someone had this engine apart before and #5 had a new piston and rod and bearings. The seller said it was his father's tractor since new and never been apart....he lied! There was more RTV on oil pan than you could imagine and obviously that piston and rod and bearings had been replaced and I thought they had been chasing the noise. Unless there was some other reason, but dont know.

He found the rod to be the same except it a tweak shorter by an almost immeasurable amount, maybe .005 or .010. Part number is almost the same except last digit and now I'm wondering if that could be someone's mistake. Would shorter rod cause preignition? By the way, there is no part number on the rods so they would have to be accurately measured.

Don't know if this engine even has cylinder liners if it does and that liner is moving you would get click. Did you look carefully at the head when you had it off and look for any sign of head distress?
