yben,

You replaced VALVE SEALS or valve seats???? Seems very strange to need valve seats. A loose one can cause some strange problems. It sounds to me like you are having diesel injector nailing symptoms.

Have you tried techron or diesel purge?

Drip timing requires constant pumping of the manual pump for continual flow. Not clearly described in the manual. For pre 1982 cars, I though bubble method was reconized as easier than drip method.

Timing pin is for 15 degrees

It's soooo easy to use the a-b indicator tool. I'd spring $50 cash money for a mechanic to do my timing in 15 minutes in the parking lot.
