Good news everyone! That guy in a lab coat has what you need in stock! That's right, the stuff that gets your motor running when you're down and out! He's selling the good stuff to his most loyal customers, if ya know what I mean.

Well, I ordered more than a bump with 5 Monark injector nozzles and a shim kit to boot. I'll take my time rebuilding the injectors by using the spare set I pulled at PNP.

I ordered some crush washers for the delivery valves from a local injection shop and I picked them up today. My #5 is leaking at the IP below the injector line. The gentleman on the phone suggested I order O-rings as well. I don't understand this recommendation because all the reading I have done says there are no rubber O-rings associated with delivery valve sealing on the OM617. I did see a diagram online of the whole valve unit removed (you know, the part you are not supposed to remove) and it did show a rubber O-ring around the upper base. I'm not sure about this and I am not sure why I can't remove the forbidden part. All I know is that if the copper DV seal doesn't fix my leak and the fact that I can pin the accelerator to the floor for 30+ seconds and hope I am at least up to 60MPH, I'll be posting here a new thread.

The car has always been a turd since I bought it. It gets worse when it warms up. I get very frustrated when I need a little goose and find the pedal to the floor while the car lethargically gathers speed. Sometimes it kicks in around 2000 RPM but it turds like a turtle before that. If I floor the car at stop light, it barely keeps up with things like SCHOOL BUSES! Then, sometimes it acts like it might have a pair of balls in there. Usually not but there are freak moments where the car acts like it just humped a Volkswagen.
