Too late, sounds like your engine is already ruined. I'll give you $750 for it.
No? Ok, you need to replace some bad glow plugs, and pull the valve cover to check the amount of chain stretch. When it reaches 5 degrees, replace the chain. If the oil has been changed according to schedule, expect about 1 or 2 degrees of wear for every 100k miles. Max -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

It is running well, except for first starts when I get a rough running for about 8 sec. with blue smoke accompanying the rough running. Smooths out quickly and runs fine.
