<p>This is a little off topic, but I use this compressor to blow out
my hay equipment before putting it back in the shed, and also to
blow out the radiators. It is a Ingersoll Rand VAne Type
compressor 250 cfm powered by a 4-53 Detroit diesel. When the
compressor build back up and the engine begins to idle down it
makes a loud clicking sound. I cannot determine if it is a rod
knocking or maybe valve related. I know Bo Hinch had a lot of
experience with these engine compressor combinations. I don't
think the compressor is making the noise. I had some knocking in
the engine a couple of years ago when I changed the oil and used
15W-40 Mystic. I changed over to 40W Mystic and it stopped the
knocking, but now the loud click. I cannot afford for this
machine to be down if we ever get a hay crop to bale. My baler
has to be blown out every day or the belts bind up with chaff and
stop. <br>
