I don't think it's that I'm rushing - but thanks for the heads up. I have every intention of going back over the drip timing and checking it again. I just got sidetracked, and concerned about, the timing chain.

I really do take my time (I'm a college professor and I have lot's of time in the summer) - actually I obsess over these things really wanting to get things 'right', or as right as I can.

So for the last 2 days I've been studying chain stretch and timing related issues and trying to figure out the 2mm lift method - which if you read my other post, I think I have finally figured out. My chain is currently - with the 2mm method - showing only 1.5 degrees stretch, so I am going to put things back together and revisit the injection pump timing.

Thanks for the help!
