My wife just recently purchased your deluxe diesel purge kit and the wrenches and vavle cover gasket, as a gift for me. I suspect she thinks I'm spending too much time in the house. I printed out your pictorials for the purge and the valve adjustment. I did the purge last weekend, and it made an unbelievable difference. I am purchasing a 420SEL from a member, and was planning on selling the SD. Now, I'm not so sure; I think I'll keep her around for tinkering purposes.

It has been chilly and raining, this morning, so I am still in the "prep" stage of the valve adjustment. I am literally under a shade tree, so can't do much until the rain stops. So far, I have cleaned the engine compartment, between showers.

As soon as I get 'er done, I'll post the results, the 0-60 times, and my overall impressions. Thanks, again, to all that have provided advice. This forum is the best.
