A little loud...

[Dasherhead]

I just picked up a wrecked 83 rabbit on the cheap.  Body completely totaled - Anyway, I put glow plugs in it and bled the fuel lines and it started right up!  It seems to clatter a lot louder than the other 1.6's I have.  My question is, how can I quiet it up? Am I stuck rebuilding the head or is there a way to tweak things so that it is a little quieter?  My dream is to pull it and drop it into a caddy.  I a 1.6td caddy and hit a deer a few years ago.  I sure miss it.  BTW - I love this forum you have all taught me a lot!

Check the cam/cramk timing.
 and retard the timing.
 You can turn the pump with the engine running and listen.
