A short rod won't change injector timing but it will change the compression ratio and power output of that cylinder. A compression test of each cylinder might show this.

I know the piston is correct as we replaced it. But James makes a good point to ponder, if the rod is too short, it may change injector timing.

Actually, did not check length of connecting rod and its clearance from head at TDC. 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.

When you had it apart, did you check all the piston,ring and bearing clearances?

No sleeves in this engine. 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.

My friend and mechanic help has a Jacobson mower he's is rebuilding that has a 4 cylinder version of this motor that appears identical except the number of cyl's. 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.

It's going to be a bit before I can get this back apart again, but hoping to have this fixed in time to plow.

I wonder if something about cylinder 5 is somehow different so that the compression is higher, and so it’s igniting (pre-igniting) too much before top dead centre in just that cylinder?

Eg #5 piston slightly higher than the other 4?
