I checked the camshaft timing by the alignment of the groove on the fwd
camshaft flange and the raised mark on the most fwd camshaft bearing cap
and
the reading came to 6 degrees after 'OT'. I had a hard time figuring out

As I said before, you cant use the drip method on 603 engines. You can
only use the lock tool or the digital tester

Ken: Although I think you have other areas to check first, you can easily
inspect the inside of the oil pan. After draining the oil, simply remove the
oil pan extension.
A new gasket is a few $ and as I recall the torque on the bolts is about 7
ft/lbs.

If timing was off by 40 degrees, you would have bent valves. You
probably checked it wrong. As for the rough idling/smoking, could be
timing off, could be dirty injectors, could be bad delivery valves. Run
a can of diesel purge thru it and see what happens. Also, when its
idling rough, is
