Barry,

Since you are the pressure king, I wanted to ask you this. John at Advanced Diesel Systems in Fresno, California, told me once that fuel pressure will not affect timing. They are a Bosch dealer and service center.

But, if you consider that a 135bar injektor, releasing or spraying at only 100bar, would, in theory, advance the timing so to speak, by introducing fuel earlier.

What are your thoughts on this???

I ask because I am getting an idle-only, clattery injektor on my #1 zylinder and I suspect it is discharging at a lower than specified pressure.

Thanks...Robert

P.S. I have 68,000 on my complete rebuild with Bosch nozzles and pressures set to 2000 psi.
