....this was a complete rebuild truck from Arkonic with the proper orignal motor. imported @2800 mile after rebuild and tiltled.. the 200 tdi and drive train was removed and an LS was installed... i dont follow the to the US and back.. i am in the US and so is the 110 that this motor is from

hmmm what inconsistencies? i saw the wessox truck with the LS in it at the gentlemans presonal garage. it was imported a couple years ago and the swap was preformed once it arrived

by Fip i mean the boost pin

i have moved star ring a full rotation both directions and rotated the boost pin all directions and nothing changes. i have also swapped out 3 out of 4 injectors from my old motor and no changes there either

stock FiP pin...even swapped it out with the old pin from my old motor...nothing differnt... i reached out to Arkonic for in formation on the build but they dont return my calls. I did not purchase the motor from Arkonic

so found a air leak at my fuel tank and fuel line. was excited that i had found my issue...replaced the fuel line and the engine does idle smoother but stil getting orignal issue of lots of black smoke and less power at top end. more power than before but still less than the old motor. was...

the orgins of the engine....person bought the Arkonic truck "wessex", had it shipped to the US and a LS swap was preformed. person kept the engine around for a back up for his 90 but then decided to sell it and the other parts of the drive train

compression check is next list and air cleaner is clean..also tried with air cleaner removed. n engine fires right up and idels but a little rough and black smoke with any acceleration.... timing issue?

i agree. just feel like I'm getting everywhere and nowhere at the same time i greatly apricate your help

they other injectors seemed decent..i did have some smoke on heavy acceleration on the other motor but that may have been a result of several factors

did that before i removed and cleaned them...i am getting fuel spray at that union and when each union was loosened.... the engine idle changed slightly...all were similar, and each did the same thing when loosened

i figured as much just thought id try it out.....

yes used the pin and according to the pulley markings. Its at TDC and the slot in the flywheel was visible..not an automatic trans.. i have not pulled the front cover off at this point.

pulled the injectors and they are pretty nasty at the tips with carbon buildup. took them apart and soaked all the parts in cleaner and blasted compressed air thru the jet holes......reinstalled and no difference on smoke amount out the exhaust
