I may take this up, and do it on my spare vehicle... I have a spare engine to swap out if it dies. of course I would need to repair the odometer first... I have driven it about 1 and 1/2 tanks of fuel since I changed the oil, I have no idea of it's condition prior to me, nor do I have any idea how many miles are currently on the motor. the problem I see is that it is a TD, and I hate to wear out a TD. of course the head should not have much wear due to infrequent OCI... also this vehicle is a non turbo, so the oil would be less abused than on a turbo motor.
post back here, IF you are interested in me doing this.
I will NOT abuse nor post my opinions anywhere else than this thread concerning the results.
John
