    paddocks and piston rings

    i'll give it try. the pump is over fuelling as its turned up to much. the miss fire goes when warm. i'll pull the injectors also. used fatory marks for timing, but is it possible for it to slip after 3000mls of running fine. something amiss as i'm getting v8 mpg's at the min lol

    paddocks and piston rings

    timing has been checking as the cambelt was done around 3000mls ago but this started around a month ago. could well be a injector, but its the pressure inside the rocker box, and the inlet tracted thats worrying. all three problems started around the same time. need turn the pump down as this...

    bumper

    i'm sure he would. bumpers are well made the welding is dressed very nicely also. and considering it was custom made it fitted perfectly first time without tweaking

    Valve stem seals on 300 tdi

    The piston protrudes past the deck of the block also the combustion chamber is in the piston not the head so if you can get the piston at tdc for the valve stem seals you are changing in theory you should be ok.
