Leaking pressure valve holder copper seal on one or more elements.

Take it back and have them re-torque the pressure valve holders (i.e. repeat the job and do it right this time).

Timing is not an issue, it's not touched when replacing a pressure valve holder o-ring.

Your good milage is a result of not injecting as much fuel in one or two cylinders as in the others -- causes rough idle and sometimes rather nasty injector knock.

We replaced them on my brother's SDL last week hoping to cure a rough idle. It helped, but I think it's really injector nozzle time.
