Good news I got the engine running today still in the car and it sounded great I did'nt run it higher then idle about 45 seconds as had no radiator on it. I was so happy with the sound of it but the compression numbers have to be dealt with so I guess with the replies is I should try to determine where the leaks are. Can I make a fitting out of an old glow plug or can I purchase a fitting to put some air in the cyl. I will hook up a radiator and run the engine to operating temp. and take some more compression readings and maybe run about 4 qts. of marvel mystery in it to loosen up the rings if they are stuck fast. I will probably not get much done on it tomorrow as I have to put a radiator on a sprinter but will report back on how this progresses and if I can get those compression numbers to read a little higher.
