When the timing is set at 18 degrees btdc as indicated at specs engine does not like it knocking etc
When timing is put to approx 8 degrees btdc is a lot smoother although black smoke under load
Could piston topple/slap explain this ?
Injectors are recently reconditioned
Engine compression test done which was good on each cylinder
Valve clearances set correctly at operating temp
