"new" engine has arrived. While it looks in far better condition than the current engine, it needs a good cleaning, and for me to verify the compression numbers I have been given.

There are no injector lines, which I find both disturbing and good. Good because the glow plugs have been out recently, hopefully for a compression test I hope happened, bad because of FOD risk that may have occured to the pump and injectors with the wide open.

Any simple stuff off the top of anyones head I should do while I have this one out? Simple test for health of the vacuum pump? it looks awful oily

Im putting it on the stand first, and replacing the oil pan and oil filter gaskets and putting a not EGR intake/exhaust on it. Assuming I have good compression, I don't really want to totally rebuild it, I just want to get it in the car and start driving around for petes sake!
