I dont have problem with my neighbors

And i take out the hood liner because its ugly.
Yes its a solid head and valve clearances are adjust when i rebuilt the engine its pass about 3000 km since than.
What do you recommend for timing?
I worm it up for few minutes idling then i took it to road, and after aprox 2 km the clutter disappears.
Myself, I would leave it as is.
Especially if it runs very well warmed and at speed. Retarding the timing is going to cost performance at the top end.
Or, turbocharge it and then it will be quieter at idle!
In 100 years, nobody is going to remember.
Car sounds fine.
:-)
The spare pump is the type used on the US ECOdiesel, Bosch 460484027, not a great pump for performance... 8mm plunger (but longer stroke).
Ok, so that knock on cold start is normal.
The plunger on my old pump is also 8mm?
Any one have a good place to cross reference those pump no.s? I find the ecodiesel stroke information helpful.
sounds just like mine; your ok; happy 100+100+100k+miles, or another way to put it happy trails
