What spec is the injector pump timing set at?
Who rebuilt the engine?

Injector pump timed at stock spec, I forget what it is now. I have tried advancing it and retarding it which made no difference to the noise
Rebuilt by some bloke on the goldy that does td42, 1hd

Ok. I have seen engines tick when the rings were tight in their lands after a rebuild. Could be something worth checking.

What would be the process in checking that? Should I contact the rebuilder or can I check that myself? I have also just checked my catch can 4000Km after rebuild and I was surprised that there was actually a bit of oil in it since its new I thought there'd be no blow-by.

Rings will take some time to lap into the cylinders...
The builder should have given you a break-in proccess... oil change interval etc
And ah, if you could check ring gaps, you coulda rebuolt the engine... not a five minute job.

Have you checked if the power goes off from glow plugs. Constant power on glow plugs caused a rattling noise from my td42...

That would cause pre-detonation I assume?
