Torqued and good!
I sent Jason a message, I'll see if he responds. In the meantime the Pinzgauer is getting wired for lithium batteries, inverter, shore power, etc.... So I'm not in a huge rush.

Any d24t gurus in the Denver area?

Hey guys, so my pinzgauer is running and driving, my mechanic has checked and rechecked timing, pump adjustment, etc... It just doesn't run all that great. It runs good, but smokes quite a bit,...

OK so my mechanic came by in a Saturday, and looked at the engine. He said it's jumped time. I don't exactly know what that means, but he said the pump could be way out now. The Pinz wouldn't even...

OK so got some more info. He timed the motor to the spec in the pinzgauer service manual, which is (he didn't have it front of him) +085 or 088. Does that make sense?
If the timing was 180 degrees...
