Should I change the timing chain - it is now showing 5 degrees of stretch?

Plus, back to my black smoke - since this is new SINCE I timed this injection pump, I'm assuming this is unburnt fuel - is it more likely to result from too far advanced or too retarded pump timing?

I had a non-Mercedes fuel injection pump with retarded/late timing and it put out a lot of billowing white smoke.
When the pump was timed OK the white smoke went away.
Oddly I am having a similar problem to yours but not nearly as bad. When I first start up and let it idle I am getting some hazy smoke for about 1 minute or so. Maybe my pump is a litte too advanced also.
