Can too Much Load and Timing Cause Any Damage?

Might be worth pop testing but looks good with that engine load and RPM

 

Valve lash?

Set valve lash a year ago, and it wasn't that much off when I did...

Do you mean it idles 1200 rpm with the AC on?

800, like Mike said. I probably should have specified, 12% load at idle with a/c on.

Man, you got me thinking a bit...

  • Injectors spray pattern poor or large droplets
  • Valve lash possibly affect the compression of the cylinder
  • Injection pump starting to fail
  • Excessive drag brakes, tire pressure low, etc.

 

-Valves were done, obviously I can do it again.

-Injection pump is not even 5 months old

-Wheels soon freely, even replaced the read ebrake cable in February and if anything the tires are too aired up.

 

I'm down to thinking it's injectors or my flatbed since it seems it would cause a lot of drag, but not as much as I'm seeing.
