So I timed the truck today. Another mechanic and I timed the pump by ear after I installed it. It had a slight rattle under acceleration, a constant white fog at idle, EGTs were 800-1000 at 55 mph, OD off, 2100 rpms. Checked the timing with summit racing 7 inch timing tape, a ferret adapter, and an ancient sears timing light. 12° BTDC. Adjusted it. Turned the pump the wrong way, towards the passenger side. The rattle smoothed out and the fog turned into a haze. It also started a LOT easier. (Glowplugs are disconnected, I'm taking this rig one problem at a time.) Checked it and it was at 18° BTDC. ?? Went back the other way with it. Now I have 7° degrees BTDC, the white fog, harder starts, a one hellacious fuel knock sounding rattle. EGTs are 600-700 at 55 in 4th.
94 cclb F350, factory turbo, 37x12.50 military tires, el cheapo cold air intake. An entire passel of E4OD issues. Accurate Diesel reman code G injectors less than 200 miles ago. Dipaco return lines, one piece fram fuel water separator, and a bull moose IP all just installed.
All timing was done at operating temperature.
RPMs are coming from the tach.
Piezo adapter was in between the last bend and the inline adaptor on the #1 cylinder.
I am just over fueling the hell out of it, causing the ridiculous rattle, white cloud, and harder starts?
