When I replaced the injector Sunday, most of the problems I was having went away. Engine was Still missing bad at idle with slight backfire sound through intake. Mechanics said more serious problems. Pulled head and one exhaust valve was bent causing resticted flow which caused other exhaust valve to erode and burnt out. Anyone price this kind of repair on a diesel??? lol!!! Needless to say, I won't be racing for a while.
