I still think now that if you have never checked the injection pump timing since aquiring the car. Previous owner or owners may have retarded the timing to cover up the number four cylinder issue would not suprise me. If so should be an easy fix. Hopefully that will be all of it.
.I also do not think either that putting only seventy gallons of used motor oil through has particualrily had any negative effects. Other than perhaps some carbon buildup.

I agree. My next step will be checking the timing. I prefer a few degrees advanced timing in my Diesels. I tend to see better performance and a more complete burn of the fuel. Maybe it is compensating for years of wear and timing stretch but I do notice an improvement within a sweet spot. Obviously, over-advanced timing does not benefit but a few degrees seems to help.
