In the PD format the computer can control timing to a certain degree. Although it does require a very tightly spec'd oil, the PD's are on the leading edge. VERY high nozzle pressure and next to no residual diesel music due to the party happining inside the valve cover. Those little engines are capable of running well over 200hp and 300lbs of torque. The pd 170's that are now available in Europe are capable of even greater numbers. All from a very tight 4 banger. To my knowledge, I have not heard of even one injector failure yet... I buy the 606 spec oil for less than 5 bucks a quart. At full synthetic that is not too bad. I have also read some information wherein Amsoil will have a tested oil available soon as well.
