        <![CDATA[ My 4JH3E engine seems to need more than it's usual share of TLC this season. At 1600 hrs I replaced the exhaust riser no problem, but with my head in the engine compartment, I notice an unusual ominous rattling noise out of gear at idle. Seems to be coming from under the valve cover but not typical valve/injector noise. Not water pump or alternator bearings. Yanmar thinks I should pull and test the injectors.

			<description><![CDATA[ Injectors came our pretty easy. I was surprised to see they are just press fit into head. Hardest part was disconnecting the return hoses but heat gun solved that. Tips had heavy carbon coating and some rust on body. Took them to local engine shop and they cleaned and spray tested them for $85. They went back in OK and after some cranking engine started right up. Idle is noticeably smoother and engine sounds &quot;normal&quot;.<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ I'll add to the ease of pulling the injectors...I do it every year or so and clean off the carbon that builds on the tip from low speed running thru our canal system to reach open water. It is easy to do as described by Nick and takes no more than a half-hour.  I pay about the same - $25-$30 each to have them thoroughly cleaned and reset.<br>
            <br>
            First time i pulled them - back in '92 the local diesel shop recommended that they be numbered and replaced in the same... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Gene/Nick,<br>
            <br>
            Thanks for the comments. Noise is same warm/cold, in/out of gear. Idle seems a bit rough. I looked for external rattling but see nothing. I think engine runs ok, could be light on hi-end power. Some soot on transom.<br>
            <br>
            Flywheel fan is interesting. Think I'll lift the valve cover and take a look there too. Nick, thanks for the encouragement on the injectors. Yanmar made it sound like not a DIY job. Of course, they wanted... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not as I recall.  The tapered cone of the injector seals to the cylinder head metal to metal.  My manual shows at teflon heat shield cylinder that fits into the head or around the nozzle but it's been about 4 years and I don't recall doing anything with it.  Maybe it stayed in the head.  I do know I didn't buy any parts or gaskets.  To do it right you need to loosen the flare nuts at both ends of the high pressure lines.  The 4 on top of the injector pump are difficult to get a wrench on and... ]]></description>

            When you replaced the injectors did you need to add any new gaskets or packing?<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Rick,<br>
            <br>
            I don't know if the injector could cause the rattle but they should be inspected and set, especially if they haven't had any attention in 1600 hrs.  There is no special tool required.  Disconnect the high pressure line and the rubber leak-by hose.  Then loosen the nut that holds the fork-shaped injector retainer.  The injector should come out fairly easily.  I took ours to a local diesel service shop for cleaning, testing and adjusting.  The cost was... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Rick,<br>
            <br>
            A couple of questions in response.<br>
            <br>
            Does the same noise persist when in-gear at idle?<br>
            <br>
            Is the engine hot or cold when the noise is heard? Any change in sound from cold to hot?<br>
            <br>
            Does the engine generally run OK, with adequate power, no smoke, etc?<br>
            <br>
            <br>
            Two possibilities that have nothing to do with the injectors... ]]></description>
