How dare you say a diesel needs maintenance. The internet says these are million mile engines.
As for the OP's engine , blame last person that changed the oil. At least what the person in the thread below believes even in the face of facts. See post 43 for pics of an alleged oil change gone bad. Ignore the pics of undamaged connecting rod bearings.

A while back I bought a couple of Deutz 4F1011 / 4M1013 type oil cooled turbo charged engines. One had a hole burned through the piston due to a bad injector. However, these were direct injection engines. As a side note, as an option they have a glow plug that protrudes into the combustion chamber.
