Loud diesel knock nissan terrano II head just replaced.

Recently replaced head gasket and serviced head and injectors on nissan terrano turbo TD27. had fuel lines mixed at initial start up but beleive we sorted this problem. Now runs much better but has audible diesel knock like pinging? have not moved fuel pump as is gear driven not belt timed. could it still have fuel lines wrong, engine idles very sweet but blows white smoke on acceleration and load and lacks alittle power.No missfire when driving but very hard to start sometimes.

    I have been having the same problem and am considering both the fuel pump governor, the fuel cut off valve and the mass air sensor. The glitchy ecu on these cars does not help the diagnosis.

Did you get the head skimmed before putting it back together with new gasket on ? If not the head is warped and the new gasket will not work

This sounds like an injection pump issue or a dripping fuel injector, just because the injectors where serviced doesn't mean it still can't be an issue.

I asked about NISSAN terrano TD27,the question is how do you connect the diesel pipes from injector pump on to injector nozzles when pump is already on the engine?

if you have 4 or six metal lines , then they will be bent to exactly the right shape for the firing order
offer them up to the nozzle of the pump and they will fit neatly to the injector if correct
keep going until they all fit exactly
do not bend any to fit as that will cause problems with the fuel flow and make the timing wrong

My 1992 nissan terrano blows to much black smoke .how to fix this .some say i have unbirt fuel?

if diesel and turbo , check turbo operation of for holes in the intercooler
if turbo or naturally aspirated check/ replace injector tips as black smoke indicators squirting and not atomizing
if petrol check for excessive fuel pressure, faulty injectors , leaking injector seal
regardless of petrol or diesel --black smoke indicates incorrect air / fuel ratio ( too much fuel) so injectors, intercooler, bad turbo or blocked air cleaner are all candidates for the fault

My Nissan terrano mix water and oil in the engine

This is almost certainly due to a blown head gasket, which will have to be replaced. Oil and water systems will need to be flushed and refilled with clean oil and coolant

I have a nissan diesel 4 cylinder td27 engine , what i the normal oil pressure gauge reading for this engine whilst running

2.9 to 3.9 bar at 3000 rpm is fairly general for the Nissan range including turbo diesel, though the pressure isn't listed for the td27 engine. I doubt it would be more or less than the others.
I notice one Nissan commercial vehicle engine where 3.0 bar at 2000 rpm is specified.

The oil pressure test should be carried out at normal operating temperature.

Nissan Terrano Diesel 55 plate engine management light comes on 10 mins after first journey and sounds like a diesel knock although does not seem to effect performance and there is no excessive smoke.

Probably you might face a problem on the injection pump with the Advance or retar positioning,and I believe that is controlled by the vehicle ECU. The Diesel Knocking you receive should be this fault.

Nissan terrano TD27 diesel. Hard starting while the engine is still hot.

What year? Electronic controls of injection pump or mechanical?
what type of smoke comes out of tailpipe when trying to start when hot? How do you eventually get it to restart?

Car wont start, like its getting no fuel. smoke coming from engine to the air intake filter

that might mean your head gasket is blew up and then you might have a problem with the fuel pump is broken that would be the two thing that come into my mind when i read that good luck and hope that the rigth thing i told you.
