The listed sale price ($2750) was firm, but around the time the buyer and I were closing the deal, someone at my job backed into the car and left a small dent in the back. The buyer was still...

I don't think he posts here, although he did make an account in order to PM me, so if you see a mr_robs, that's him! He saw the listing over at the superturbodiesel forum, I believe he's...

Yeah, it sucks, but it's a pretty fine line. Do I want to sit on the car, and hold out for every last penny I can get? Or do I want to show that I'm a motivated seller, set an attractive price, and...

Thanks for the input. You’re close to what I have put into the car, and I agree that it’s unrealistic to expect to get that back. I’m honestly just looking to set a fair price for a quick sale,...

Honestly, I have no idea. I’ve never kept track of that on any car. Sorry I can’t give you a better answer.

Timing chain was replaced about 18 months ago. I assume cam timing would have been done at the same time? IP timing was at the recommendation of the pump builder (Dieselmeken), although I never got a...

Yeah, but I had the sound before the new pump and injectors as well, just lower in the power band. Injectors were rebuilt and balanced by greazzer, so I know it was done right.

Egads!! What is this sound?

So my OM602 has always made a "ticking" sound. Formerly, it was around 1000 RPM. I had the injectors rebuilt with Monark nozzles - immediately afterward, the sound remained. I posted a video back...

What part of the linkage gets adjusted exactly? Just any of the nuts to slacken the assembly, or does it have to be a specific one?

Not my pic, but for illustration purposes:
