If you need the splin tool to remove the delivery valve and spring then you proly have the Euro IP, which requires a little different treatment when re assembling. I would try this first... The timing may have been advanced to compensate for the chain some time ago. Mark where the IP meets the block and pull the IP AWAY (retard) from the engine just a skosh (1/64"+-). See if that helps. If not move it back. You may get lucky
