couple of cans of diesel purge

Last evening I applied JB Weld to the valve cover baffle gap and swapped
out the injectors with my 74kmi set from the Blue Bomber ('82 300D). 2 of
the 5 were heavily carboned up, and the other 3 weren't all that great.
All 5 of the heat shields were carboned up also. That done, today I
checked/set the valves. Only 2 (4-intake and 3-exhaust) were slightly
loose(less than 1/16 turn), the rest were correct. So I'm thinking that
carbon is the problem here, and the fresher injectors and some VERY hard
driving might cure the compression differences. Hopefully that's causing
the oil usage also. Any thoughs?

I'll check valves and oil leak next weekend. What about checking the
rear
side of the turbo for oil? How hard is that? What's the proceedure for
the baffle epoxy?
Rear bumper is free of oil.

What's the next suggestion for diagnosis?
Check for proper valve clearance, then wash the engine real good and
look for fresh oil on the outside. The oil on the pressure side of
the turbo may well be coming from the crankcase breather or the turbo
itself.
There is a baffle inside the valve cover that could have a gap that
needs to be epoxied that can cause an excessive amount of oil to be
picked up by the intake air. I would run a warm compression test
again too and compare with your previous results.
Any oil spots on the rear bumper or trunk area?
