Follow up lang po for my post above. Just had the injection pump of my 4d56 (L300) overhauled and calibrated. All gaskets and o-rings of the pump were replaced and the pump was calibrated.
However, naging hard starting na siya, it would take 2 to 3 tries before siya magstart whereas dati naman ay one click lang ay start na agad. Bakit kaya? Didn't notice this when i was still in the calibration shop, just though I would inquire first with you before I bring it back to the shop.
My 1993 L300 VV diesel has around 113,000km on its odo and according to the mechanic is due already for a complete overhaul because its temp rises during long climbs and when stuck in traffic and there is this weird "tak-tak-tak" like sound coming from the engine.
