[quote=Diesel911;1776998]You never said what the milage you are getting is or what type of driving you are doing or what type of fuel you are using. Is the car smoking at all.

With mostly around-town driving and the occasional 10 minute jaunt on the freeway at 65-70 I am averaging almost exactly 18 mpg. White smoke in the morning at startup (mostly from one weak glow plug I think). New air filter. Burning B99. Definitely leaking some fuel from primer pump and secondary fuel filter (not gallons though). New tires, properly inflated. I did change the brake pads recently and have not checked for brake drag front or back (calipers moved freely when I changed the pads).

I have no idea when the valves were last adjusted (thus no knowledge of the condition of the timing chain).

I haven't even begun to do the research here on what is involved in setting the IP timing.

Thanks for the input on this guys.
