Bob,, thanks,, it does have a whole lot more of the diesil knock when it first starts up, i give it some gas,, and itll smooth out, then back to idel, and it is fine. I replaced the arm itself, it is held on by a roll pin, and it was sticking there,, tooki it off the old pump,, and that had the adjuster on the end, that makes contact with the plunger,, I never reset this to match the new pump,, it has a small allen head to make the adjustment,,, I had wondered about the fuel pump itself,, I replaced it new,, then the injector pump died about 1000 miles later. IF, the adjustment is off on the retard mechanism,, would it change the fuel delivery pressure timing at the injectors? it is possible that the shaft seal could be out,, but never did it to the donor engine,, Im thinking if the adjustment is out of whack,, its not timed right, and if that mechanism is in the right spot,, it would do what I decribed? I do remember,, that when i changed that entire arm,, that it did push in on the plunger pin,, maybe little over 1/8th inch,, is this too much? Ill double check the return lines,, for I know of a clamp that could be tightened. it is the small line off the filter that is the return. I was wondering, is there a way to check to see where the retard mechanism is set correctly? should I back it out, then turn it in till it just touches,, or ?? thanks! ChadS
