1999 E300D Back to Life, But....
Well, after much work I finally got a used head and put her back together. I did ALOT of "while I'm in there" and deleted the EGR entirely, to include the diode and resistor method. Also replaced every possible seal I could, water pump, thermostat, all if the clear fuel lines, deleted and bypassed the fuel thermostat, cleaned the intercooler, and got some shiny new glow plugs! God some all new Bosio injector nozzles installed and balanced by grazer as well. After all of this no check engine light or glow plug light, but the engine sounds like its nailing pretty bad, clears up at about 1400 rpm. So my thoughts are the pump needs to be adjusted due to the brand new nozzles set at 135 bar, or the chain tensioner died. I already ordered a new tensioner (cheap insurance) and checked the fuel lines for bubbles. I cant see any bubbles at all. So thoughts anyone? How picky is the tensioner when it comes to priming it? All the timing is exactly where It was prior to head removal as I locked the crank.
