Hello Bill,
Thanks for the feedback and the PDF. I will add the latter to my reference file.
Your feedback has good merit. Prior to the gearbox repairs I adjusted the valves, adjusted the throttle linkage, adjusted the shift cable, rebuilt the injectors with new nozzles and adjusted the injectors to open at 1950 psi. ALDA has never been touched and all the vacuum hoses have been replaced. I also checked the turbo boost and it is where I would expect it to be under heavy load ~10 psi. Having said that I do have all the bits to rebuild the turbo as it has a bit of play in the bearings. This will probably be my January project.
The only thing I haven't touched as yet is the injection timing and this is being done as you read this. The gasket between the IP and the front housing was sweating a bit of oil (I hate engines the leak fluids), so this was an excuse to replace the gasket and adjust the timing. I don't expect this to make a huge difference.
Coming back to your comment about the shift cable - I will be playing around with this again as the current adjustment was based on the gearbox before the upgrade (B1 and B2 servos) done last week.
If you have any other thoughts - let me know. In the meantime I'll keep testing and playing detective. If I discover anything I'll update this thread.
Thanks again and take care,
PK
