ok, I manage to upload video

I warm up engine a bit before taking video as the shakes were
biggest at warm... no shakes and the sound is ... quite different

mw pump is sealed (even alda...)

no shakes.mp4 - YouTube

question: does oil gauge should behave like mine ?


(and yes,my rpm gauge doesn't work....)

Sounds and looks good! If you had stood a full wineglass on the valve cover then you would really have convinced us!

You need to sort out the injector hard lines and fit the 8 clamps like the one you have on 4 & 5, #3 I think is correct but #1 and #2 are a lash up. Vibrations from pressure and engine can break them. See if you can find replacements at a scrap yard.

The oil gauge flicker is air in gauge pipe to the oil filter. You can bleed it out by loosening the connection at the gauge if it bothers you but it is nothing to worry about.

You can expect the idle tune and smoothness to vary quite a lot with different loads of fuel. Diesel quality and cetane levels can vary a lot – some countries worse than others. Best to fill up at a truck stop where there is a high turn over.

Great video - one heck of a difference. Well done for sticking with it and getting the result you wanted.
