Those of us who've been on this list for awhile are all familiar with the 
service and prices which Rusty provides, so I won't waste any bandwidth on that 
subject.  Regarding the saga of my '85 300TD smoking upon cold startup, my next 
venture into possibly resolving this issue was to install new fuel injectors 
for #4 & #5 cylinders as these were the cylinders which had displayed lower 
compression than the other three cylinders.  Since my workshop manual suggests 
using new fuel injector nozzle plates when replacing fuel injectors, I obtained 
these as well from Rusty.  Upon taking out the old fuel injectors and 
retrieving the old fuel injector nozzle plates using a magnet, the darn things 
flipped on edge so I couldn't tell which side is supposed to be up/down.  I 
took photos of both sides of the fuel injector nozzle plates and sent Rusty an 
Email and he responded with the correct installation orientation in time for me 
to get things back together before dinner.  Kudos Rusty!  I'm planning on 
starting and running the car tomorrow AM to see if the fuel injector 
replacement has solved the smoking upon cold startup . . . I'll let ya' know.
