starting work on my o319

Hey guys,
Now that it is finally warming up and I'm nearly done with the bathroom remodel it is time for the 319 work...for those of you who don't know what this is it is like this but not nearly as pretty..

http://www.319er-forum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=44

I have the hardest time communicating with those guys. For some reason the german translation programs don't seem to work very good. Anyway, I think my first plan of action is on the om636 motor. Anyone know these engines? It runs supposedly but I havent tried to start it yet. I will change the fluids first and squirt some wd40 down the injectior holes (how should I clean those things?)to get things moving safely. Beside that where do I start the tuneup? Do diesels even have distributors? After that the brakes, then the body and fit the glass (which is all out right now as well as the whole interior..even the floor boards) Its just going to be a work truck so "restoration" will be easy. I just need it to be trusty.

Thanks for your input.
