would an injection timing be the cause? during the reassembly i accidentally rotated the IP sprocket about 1.5 turns cw when installing the timing belt.... engine power also feels lower plus it seems my FC increased. engine is 4D56B air cooled turbo. Check injection pump timing.

i replaced and retightened all loose bolts connecting battery and starter motor yet it still starts at a lower rpm. Weak battery maybe? How old is your battery?

TIA
Salamat ng madami DD sa replies....

nga pala HG is head gasket...sorry sa abbreviation.
my battery is motolite gold N70 which is about 1 year and a month old.
4d56 diesel mated to an automatic tranny...i drive it about 5 days a week with A/C running most of the time...i suspect that the A/C kills the battery fast...checked the alternator and it was good using the Sun vat meter at the battery shop.
i'll have the timing checked this afternoon and i'll update regarding sa performance....
thanks again
