Glad to hear it went well!

We just received a pack of 12 Monark 039 305 138 nozzles, which are equivalent to the Bosch 273 but higher quality and a different, more modern tip design that promotes better fuel atomization, esp for biodiesel. Haven't had a chance to put them in yet but I anticipate a solid improvement. One set of 6 is going into my '83 760 with 122k, excellent compression and 6 new Bosch 293s already in it, so that will be a direct comparison of Monark 138 to Bosch 293 both in new condition on a known good motor. Will be interesting to see what kind of difference the Monarks make on that one, if any. It runs very nicely with the Bosch tips and has lots of power. If the Monarks are able to make a noticeable difference I will be impressed.

The other set is going into a N/A '84 D24 240 with around 255k on its original 193s. Expect to see a major improvement there, even though it already runs reasonably well.

I'll report back with results... will hopefully find time to get to this sometime this weekend or next week.
