Here's some info on timing.

Do be aware that you should install a pyrometer before you adjust the fuel.

Piston replacement is rather expensive.

A rattle like a Power Stroke engine is the sound closest to what you want to hear when the engine is cold.

The rattle should be there untill the engine temp reaches 112 degrees, and then it should go away.
