Hi,
beside the glowplug and controller problem is there another thing after overhaul the engine.
It have in cold engine temperature a very loud "combustion noise" in germany we call this typical "Diesel-Nageln" . i don't know the right term in english, lit is louder as usually. I know that engine is loud but not so much.
My own research for the failure brings me up to the injectorpump as all others of the fuelsystem is coming up new with replacement parts. Of course the pump was dismounted by overhaul and mounted like shown in the GMC shop manual on the markings. But i found information that there are more adjustments possible / necessary. Is there anything what i can measure myself?
By checking out the glowplugs and dismounting also the new injectors found i am themselves with a lot of soot on it. I hope i describe the situation right.
I can say we have same sound like PeterKurz describe in his posting https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/adjust-pump-timing-6-2d.201251/
So i guess that the adjustment need to do. Is this the only way for adjustment checking he had shown?
By running temperature is all fine, no hardly sound but also not full power.
The start of engine was almost difficult of the glowplug / controller situation - this parts coming up now for second try by measure all circuits around this system.
The electrical System is in original condition - nothing changed beside relais which changed by broken and replaced on original parts.
I hope they sold me the right injectors by Engine Classification and VIN Number. This is not almost a garantue for right parts....
Fortunately there are still new injector pumps available and of course also overhauled conditions. I think that pump needed first an adjustment before we talk about replacementpart or overhauling them. Also for the Stanadyne is here in Germany the possibility of overhaul if necessary but this make an adjustment not uneccessary.
Beside doing it myself there is a US-Car Shop around 50 km away from me for a service on that issue...
Did anyone have an advice for me because out of optimize the situation will i not drive to that shop?
I would take a trailer-service.
