1977 300D, 115k mi., w/300 psi compression on all five buckets. When I got the car, the timing was way off (retarded!). I set the timing, and now the car smokes pretty bad (bluish white), especially after being driven on the freeway for a bit.

Changed the oil
Changed the air filter
Replaced the fuel injectors
Adjusted the valves
Drained the fuel tank and refilled w/fresh B99

Honestly, I don't remember how bad it smoked before I adjusted the timing, and it only does so now intermittantly (sp?) (startup, after runnning at higher rpm's). I didn't check timing chain stretch.

Valve stem seals? Or should I back the timing off a bit before I dive into that job?

Any input is welcome!

Thanks,
Jay.
