I found it was the fuel. Our lower cetane #2 is pretty bad for allowing an engine to run smoothly. Not enough of the toxins that used to be in it to deal with age and engineering. The change in sound and feel after using even half a gallon of BioD would reduce decibels and smooth out the engine. The same happens with the E300. Dino is just noisy. Must be the grunts of the poor dead dinos as they are squished in the engine. A bit of cod liver oil always makes thing flow smoothly
