I'am having running conditions with my 1.6TD. I have just recently rebuilt it with all new brgs., seals, .040" KS pistons, wrist pin bushings, 36mm oil pump, had the valve seats bored .040", collin at TT port and polish the head, using a hydraulic head, 1.9 NA camshaft that spec. out larger, Full 2 1/4" stainless down pipe with 2 1/4" TT Flowmaster system, basically threw all the best parts at it I could.
I aquired the core from a wrecking yard cheap, taking there word that it was a good running engine, but found that the bores and the valve guides were wasted. I never ran the engine personally untill a week ago. Struggled with it starting for the first time, but finally managed, it seems that the injection pump has strange problems.
I have the timing set at 1.00.
Anyways, off idle it spits and sputters grey smoke for about 1/8 of its travle untill it gets half way, then clears up. Now driving it, it drives nice unless you floor it. It then pull strong until a certin RPM then falls on its face. Seems like its in the last 1/8th of full throttle that it cuts out, boost seems good, so I'am not sure, maybe I need a Giles special?
I put a can of lubro moly diesel purge in it and the off idle sputter disappeared but its still cutting out at a specific RPM. You can tell tht it has plenty of more steam in it but, is cut short. Can anyone offer advice?
