I hope you are not right. It did not take much to clean up the valves or seats. And it"s starts so easy most diesels with low compression are hard to start or you have to use starting fluid. It"s starts right up. Also most low compression diesels get better when warm as everything swells. This thing is as bad at 40 degrees as it is at 180 I bumped the timing up a little earlier.

I am taking the injectors back in the shop tomorrow and put them back on the tester. I can"t help but think that"s where my problem is. Maybe the pattern is visibly bad now. And on the ring gap. It is a 4" bore. Agreed .010 is tight but makes me feel better about there not being any compression loss there. Tight clearance was intentional I plan on putting a turbo on it later if I can get the smoking fixed.
