Diesel engines are different then gas. So running ATDC is common.

Diesel engines run injection timing at ATDC because:

• The hot, compressed air already exists at that point.
• Injecting after TDC ensures fuel ignites immediately and combustion pushes the piston down effectively.
• It allows for optimal power, efficiency, and control of ignition delay under varying conditions blog.truegeometry.com+2.

In short, ATDC injection timing in diesels is a direct result of their compression ignition design, ensuring maximum power and efficiency while avoiding wasted energy or incomplete combustion.

Not uncommon for diesels to run ATDC. Most do. Here are the reasons why.
