did you go in or out with yours?

 

Oh hell thats been 6 years ago since I have done it, don't remember. I have slept since then, not much but I have. All I remember is it was the oppisite of what made since. Sorry thats all I can tell ya.

 

well thanx anyways mabey il do more research and see what i can find

 

As the timing would not cause the problems I am experiancing, what do you gents think? Thanks

 

Maybe the valves but they would have to be way out. .010 intake .020 exhaust.

 

is there a lot of "chatter" coming from the engine?

 

Not so much chatter more of a pre-igition rattle at about 2000 rpm's and up.. to get it to go faster I back off the throttle. I have dealt with lots of gas pots and it was always a timing issue (well except when I ran a lower octane fuel on a 11-1 gas engine) but deisel stuff is unknown

 

only during cold temps or all the time?

 

Still sounds like timing to me. Did the shop actually check the timing or did they just tell you its not a timing issue?

 

from what you said it sounds like the timing is off and causing the valves to chatter...
