There's no need to get everything new Cory, especially as the chain and tensioner both look fine.....however I've only ever found one way to get more power from an old 2 1/4 diesel.....junk it and put in a newer engine...😂 Also the 2 1/4 diesel is a notoriously gutless engine, my last one had a top speed of about 55mph, if you could put up with the engine screaming like it was going to go into orbit....it was happiest at about 35-40 mph

I agree with @grumpsbarn, I had a 2 1/4 diesel in a swb and that was slow. I also had a 6 cyl petrol in a lwb and that was a lot better, but still no drag racer!

Wear in The 2 1/4 diesels valve timing also retards the injection timing. Advancing, cam timing on the off set splines will advance injection timing, and stop the white smoke at tick-over.. There is a Bronze support bush, below the injector pump. When this wears, the fuel injection timing also retards. This bush is often forgotten and never changed! So the Three main wear points for Injection timing.. Fit new bush, a new timing chain, as well as advanced the cam shaft timing as you have done, and you could reach maximum advance and power. Then Add an overdrive box and you'd cruise at sensible rpm's The 2 1/4 can perform a lot better than their reputation

Awesome Job Cory! It’s perfect!

Is that a 2A or S3 engine..? I see S3 injectors..

Hello. I could not find information on installing the injection pump gear when the engine is at TDC. Where should the slot point?
