Engine Noises on VO

I just installed new injectors 3 weeks ago. All sounds fine on diesel. When I switch to VO after about 20 mins. of running, at idle my engine sounds extra "clacky" and it seems to "miss" quite a bit. VO temps are 140*F+. While on VO after idling if I hit the gas and rpms get to ~...

Door Hinge

The lower hinge on my drivers side door has just about cracked off where it was welded to the actual door. Can this be re-welded or do I need a new door? It looks like it is hollow underneith it (not just sheet metal).
