You get a little more nailing but new nozzles do that at first anyway. Also it may retard timing slightly so you could check timing and advance a little if need be.

BTW, can you advance timing by sound on these engines when running it -- ie loosen IP and just push a little toward engine and tighten till it sounds and feels good?
It is hard to rotate the Fuel Injection Pump with The Fuel Injection Lines still Attached to the IP and the Injectors.

The newer model IPs have a spcial bolt to turn that would make the sort of rotataion you are speaking of possible. Also they have very long Fuel Injection Lines and I bet it does not take as much force to bend them.
