My wrecked 85's donor engine has about seven degrees of stretch using the same method of testing. It had a stumble on cold startup that I never could get rid off. I adjusted the valves, balanced/tested my injectors, did a diesel purge, ect. and it still missed when cold. The '84, which has about two degrees of stretch, fires right up, no stumble and I don't have to give it any extra fuel. I should have the 85's donor engine out in the next couple of weeks and I'm going to completely go over it, including the chain and rails.
