Did you ever look at prime pump? May be this nailing sound is coming because the fuel flow is not enough. Just a thought. It came to me after added 2 stroke oil, a "thicker" diesel is creating better flow to pump and fuel nozzles.
Now why is I'm thinking, because before I added 2 cycle oil, my would like fluctuating at stop light, like skipping one cylinder. I know for sure my nozzles are at right pressure, since I change all previously installed spacers, they were all not enough to get right pressure at nozzle.
It's little expensive part , prime pump . But this pump is working all the time, even start up, right ?
I got springs from Pelican and will get kit from Mercedes source.
