No, I tried getting a bit more power from my non-turbo 300D.

Steve, this is the OM617 engine, and has the cast iron head. I have stopped using the car, as even though the head is iron, the pistons are aluminum, and unfortunately, I think I have a bent valve. I doubt that the remains of the nozzle will be found in the engine.
Anyone wanting to lay odds on which cylinder has the bent valve?
Bonus if you correctly identify whether the exhaust of inlet valve is the one.
