My son's "new" '87 300D misses, or stumbles when warm and idling. It's like it fails to fire once every second or two. It looks like the delivery valve seals are leaking some, but Diesel is not pouring off the top of the IP. It also blows white smoke when it starts - till warm - and smells like fresh Diesel - so I'm suspecting faulty glowing for this. It clatta, clatta's a bit louder than I think it should as well. There are only 197,000 miles on it - should be almost like new. The #14 head seems fine - no pressure in the radiator hoses, etc. I would make sure the oil pressure line is flowing oil to the injector pump. It has a very small orifice where it comes off the block and could be plugged. Also consider the new low sulfur diesel is a little weak in it's lubricating abilities and an additive may be needed to prevent the occasional sticking plunger. Loves truck stop has the best deals on two or 3 brands of diesel fuel additive, tho any good parts store will have some. I quart treats about 150 gallons, so you don't need much.
