Considering the rods coming out of the Civic, maybe not. People can get >500HP out of the D series engines on the stock connecting rods. They're a seriously overbuilt engine for what they are, but a complete different critter from these diesels.

This is like the main thing that makes me doubt credibility around here. Hmmm.....

Can the OM61x go 1M+? Sure. Do most of them? Hell no. It doesn't matter how well the engine is made, 450K miles is TIRED. Do a compression test, if you're >350PSI on all 4 holes, I'd be surprised. You're showing your ignorance on a forum full of diesel DIY-ers.

People run veggie oil in these cars all the time, the IP has no issue running on veg. Since yours has issues on veggie oil, you clearly have fuel delivery problems. Be glad you're making 55HP.
