Hello,
My DV are leaking, and the car is studdering at the top end, the engine has hard time once t reach 4000 Rpm, is that related or should I look at something else?
I cannot do the DV for another 2 weeks at least, I hope they are going to hold...
Cheers.

I would say you have fuel starvation or air leaking in under high fuel load.

The joys of running on veg oil...
 
Its not only the oil, its all the seals that are "square"...
The SOV was pissing oil a month ago... I need to do the whole system, but its cold, its getting dark way too soon and all the tralala...
This going to be looked after sometimes in January or after, the tasks will be while the manifold is off:
do the DV seals/ copper/ Orings and new springs ( may as well while in there)
replace all the fuel Orings,
advance the injection timing,
do all the glows,
do the lift pump,
this will be a good day work...
Cheers DM :)
