Wow, mine always seem to crack after even a slight bend.
well its fixed and all is well. That is funny that it ran
More like shocking!
I wonder about the physics of that. Which cylinders were switched around?
surprising it didnt break a ring, or blow a head gasket.. theres no way it was running right..

One thing I have learnt is that even though physiques sometimes says no, it happens anyways.
theres no way it was running right..
now you'd think so wouldn't you, and while it wasn't running right, it ran quite happily!
it started easily, it idled quite smoothly and revved happily
it only made 14 psi, clattered badly and billowed white smoke
I didn't find the fault so I'm unsure which pair were swapped
it is quite shocking how it did run with them wrong but it did, wasnt full of power but its not as tho it had none, but since its back to normal, it goes really well
i suppose we missed the problem as the lines are clamped together in pairs, so came off that way and back on that way, silly really that we didnt check this before hand, but out of all the people that had looked at the motor and had suggested problems, nobody spotted or thought aboutthe firing order. it wasnt like it was missing tho, just an allmighty clatter!
I would guess the swaped lines were injecting at the bottom of the compression stroke and pre-igniting at the top making the knock, same as leaky nozzles.?
Interestingly, the clatter was probably from the lines that were injecting correctly, but needing to do so too far advanced, but one or more of the others steaming off the diesel from the surfaces relatively quietly... maybe

I like both theories. This is specifically why I was curious which two cylinders were swapped. I guess we could figure out what would happen if 1&2, 2&3, or 3&4 were mixed.
I got my caddy to start with the pump 180 out, and it smoked and knocked like a demon from hell.

hahahah love it.
i got my turd to start with the the IP set at .10 mm.. and it smoked and missed like hell but would do 50 mph
