Well, when it sounded like the valve broke, I pulled over and called a tow
back to the garage that I came from.
Günter, who has worked on VW's for 40plus years says I think it is an
injector issue. I give him an open 17mm and he says start it up. He
loosened line to #1 at top of injector and we see some fuel/air coming out
and the motor stops making big noise.
He felt the injector was clogged or air is getting in the line and not
producing enough PSI to open it.
Once we tightened everything back up, thinks were back to sounding like they
were before. I do agree that timing is my main concern here. I am pretty
sure it is advanced too much.
How could Overland sell a setup that will not align to the stock timing
marks?
From Ken Hunters response, he experienced that same issue, he has the same
setup as me.
Is there no-one else out there on this list that has the Overland long block
from Vanagain or other dealers???
I am trying to keep cool here, hemmm.
