Couldn’t wait for the new valve cover gasket to come in, so adjusted the valves yesterday on my venerable 79 240D. Most of the valves did have too much gap, but alas the end result was the same – some chugging, but no starting. I will try to get to the supply house tonight to pick up a compression tester. One thing that was different – absolutely no smoke from the exhaust during the three starting attempts. Could this indicate that fuel isn’t getting through the injectors? I did previously verify that fuel was getting to them. One more thing, I did remove the plastic ring from an oil container that the PO managed to drop in on top of the head.
