Hi Everyone.
I have a D1105 in a X1140 that is making me crazy. Bought the RTV with a known engine problem (it ran terrible with a loud knock). Took it apart and found #3 rod bearing lose. Rebuilt it with all new parts, new pistons, rings, crank, bearings etc. Timed it by lining up the dots. easy job. Started up after a few rotations, had a bad chinese head gasket, coolant leaking and ran rough. Tried again with another over night Amazon head gasket, that leaked too and ran rough. Bought a 3rd gasket, this time a 1 piece vs those multi layer ones. No more leaks but runs really rough. Has good power. Rough at all rpm ranges, no smoke. Starts hard when cold. Compression is slightly low at just under 400 on all 3 cylinders. Swapped injectors with a good running motor, no difference. Could the new head gasket be slightly thicker than it should? I'm lost here. Any help is appreciated.
