This engine does not smoke, in fact my '88 300SE smokes more than the 350SDL.

I have found a post the said the 603.970 engine solved some of the earlier issues with bent rods. The failures I read about happened under 100K. This thing has 280+K on it.

Working on putting it back together. Swapped #4 injector with #1 to see if the noise moves. Will also check out the air/vacuum pump for noise.

Thanks again to all for the help. Back to work, breaks over.
