Ok so I have rough idle, knock loudest after start but now I can still hear
it after motor warmed up, instant start, decent power, rebuilt injectors,
compression of 290 in #4 and 390 in the others. Seems like a bad valve
guide as I can hear air leak near #4 at the head when turning it by hand.
Having that linkage break while driving would not be my favorite
thing in the world. That sounds like a very nice emergency fix. I
hope to remember it if I ever need it.

my 78 240D also has a lumpy idle. hopefully we'll hear a good

do for a lumpy idle... when I rebuilt the engine several years ago I
did not change the DVs. Also, like your engine, my starts at the 1st

Excuse my ignorance, but what are pressure valves/pressure valve seals?
Otherwise thanks for the tutorial.

The injectors are the easiest to get to for sure. I haven't done
delivery valve seals though I do have a set of the valves as well
as the seals and springs which I bought to do the job on a 300D
that I gave to my youngest daughter. It however turned out not to
need it. After I ordered the
Yes I was also considering the rack damper. I even have a new
damper screw to put in there. It did look like someone had tried
to adjust that because there are no more threads on the screw
visible any more. Which leads me to think that this has been
going on a while. I may just stick that in

Had fun for about an hour this morning. I fixed the accelerator linkage
leaking pressure valve seals result in variable fuel delivery and
injection timing at idle and low speed. Bad cases cause excessive
knock as well, that goes away with speed increase.
instant start means you don't need to worry about compression (rings
good, valves sealing pretty well),
Check nozzles first, as you said. Then it is delivery valve seals
and possibly delivery valves. Because I have done this numerous
times, to me it is easier than rack damper. Then I'd go after the
rack damper. You may want to reverse 2 and 3 depending on your
comfort level.
Thanks
