Hi Ken,
If at all possible, I suggest you try to put the IP back where it was
when
you started changing things. There's a specific procedure to check the
chain timing - send me your address and I'll send it to you on a CD. While
a diesel is not rocket science it does require a controlled, specific way of
doing things and you must know the details of what you are doing. The IP is
not something that takes kindly to "playing with".
Good luck --
