It was not running very well, looks like detonating but that would be silly on a diesel right? ;-)
Started this year with 86mm bore and a DW11 crankshaft but the larger stroke gives more side force on the piston and by scaling from 85 to 86 I made a mistake so the pistons where a lot less strong....
For forces it would be better to use a 2.2 block with a 2.0 or 1.9 crank and very long rods.
The rods are pretty strong do...
