Keep in mind, as stated in my original thread, the important thing to keep in mind when advancing the camshaft timing is to advance injektor pump timing the same amount in camshaft degrees.

Your decision to pull back your IP timing based on how the engine reacted to the change was prudent.

I did not post the thread to criticize. I just recorded my experience.
Other variables:
My Engine has 200,000 miles on it.
The last time I drip timed a Mercedes was back in 1980.
When you aline the Camshaft Timing Marks I show about 2 degrees after Top Dead Center.

Another reason I posted was to hear from others who have also tried it.
