If I'm following you correctly, the car runs well a few minutes after starting?
|
Yes. Runs fine, but hard time starting. Starts fine after warm.

Can we assume you pulled the glow plugs in order to release the compression while rotating the cam?
|
oops. No. Only minor rotation was needed to line up each next one. Is that a problem?

Seems like it would have to be a glow plug issue. Take all 5 out. Bench test them. Replace the defective ones. Don't over tighten the nuts that hold the wires on the GP's. See if this solves your cold start problem.

Will continue to test the plugs out of the car later this evening. I guess the one that got overtightened will come out too.

As for the expected increased performance, unless the valves were considerably out of adjustment a huge performance increase should not be expected.

sounds reasonable. It was running ok. I was just looking for a little better cold starts. It had been about 18k since last valve job.
