Did exactly this following your advice, motor exploded and killed my cat.

They're $140'ish CAD from Akella or $110 US. I use mine every year!
I went down to my local tojo dealer and asked if they had one I could borrow or hire, they loaned me the sst and a dial indicator to do the timing, just had to leave enough cash to replace it If I didn't return it.. Was surprised they had one! It had never been used lol..
I'm pulling my acsd off this week so I guess I'll need to borrow it again

Dude just buy it from Partsouq... and it'll hold its value if you want to sell it.

So...Since I have to part ways with my rig, I thought I'd tie this thread up a bit and let any people with similar problems as to mine know what was eventually found.
Leaving the country and running out of time, I decided to leave my rig in the capable hands of Torfab. They systematically went through and narrowed it down. Compression test: Perfect 475's across. Pulled the fuel injectors (again) and had them tested: All tested great. Re-installed the injectors and still no change to the rhythmic sound I had and a lack of power. Pulled the injector pump and had it looked at. Needed a rebuild badly. Done. Reinstalled it, no change.
And then they started moving the injectors around (Well, I may have the order of operations slightly off here so give them the benefit of the doubt). What they found was the misfire followed two injectors and that they had no soot on them after running. And yet, they all pop tested fine. They had some extra injectors laying around from another project and dropped them in the place of those two. Low and behold, she ran perfect! So even though they were supposedly in perfect shape, they weren't working correctly. I'm not sure what the lesson is here, but if you get the same sound and symptoms as I had, start with moving the injectors around. Best of luck!
