-is the engine consuming any oil from engine crankcase?

-all fluid levels holding?

-just wondering if there could be other mechanical issues as well? (sticky rings, worn valve guides etc)

-have you checked valve lash? and is it holding?

-checking injectors and fuel injection pump first to verify everything within spec as you're doing is the correct way to proceed:clap2:

-a process of elimination i suppose..

Excersizsing it 2day with a 13 & 19k load. Runs and sounds better after every hour running.

Damn! No wonder its 90 degrees here in Ohio today! lol

Changed all 4 fuel nozzles/valves today, runs alot better with clear and complete burn exhaust.

Thats good! She runs smooth too.

Hi Mike,
now your getting somewhere--nozzles look somewhat carboned up on the tips--one or two appear wet but that can occur when you remove them--for sure a nozzle tester would be the way to tell for sure.

Gonna adjust the valves and check plunger measurements next. Its sounding better and better every time i run it with load.

-really sounding better Mike....and checking the valve lash is great too...it tells a lot of the engines condition..
