I purchased a 1976 240 d with an unknown year 220d engine in it. I found the # 4 injector not to open at all. All the injectors are new rebuilt The previous owner dumped a ton of new parts into this car before giving up on it and selling it to me for $200 and I still feel like I robbed him. I now have the car so it will start it runs like crap below 3k rpm but above that it runs pretty well. I should mention this is a crate motor he put in it. Why he used a 220 d motor Ill never know. So I check the timing chain using the quick and dirty method using the marks in this image.
as compared to this picture well it wont put the picture in so here is a link on this site

Now the question how in the world did this happen and how do I rectify it leathermang please chime in. Thanks in advance for all the help I get with my silly strange problems the cars I buy seem to have.
