Hi all. We have a 2004 S185 V2203 with 4134 hours on it. I recently replaced the cylinder head due to a crack after a few overheating cycles in the field. The machine sat in our yard for 2 years until I brought it in to try to revive it. I replaced the head, water pump, and thermostat. It runs but when trying to use hydraulics, it seems to bog and the exhaust is black. If I back of the hydraulics the engine speeds back up and the smoke clears. I have changed all fluids, filters. Did a compression check this morning and all 4 came up right at 400. Went ahead and adjusted valves to .008 this morning as well. One thing that has me wondering is that when I did the head and pulled the injector lines, one of the delivery valves came out with the line. I know I should have used a backup wrench. lesson learned. In any case Im wondering if I possible got something out of line in that valve when I put it back in. It had a spring and washer if I recall. I guess it wouldn't hurt to take the injectors in and have them tested. Just wondering if you all might have any ideas. Thanks a bunch Cole
