Why does my 603A hate me so?

144k total. Since I've acquired it at 120k: "new" #17 head, valve stem seals, injectors reman'd by Bosch (but not pop tested), delivery valve seals, three OEM mounts (nothing on dampers, though).

Just yesterday I retorqued the DVs: 20, 20, 25. No effect. It still idles rougher than the 617A.

Good 3/27 B100 fuel for two years. Warm idle is as quiet as a low-quality gasser.

What gives?
