Pretty close to it from a dead stop. It's worth the time to crank it up, since I needed glow plugs (and a project ) it wasn't a bother to remove that manifold.

Ah yes that manifold, it was REALLY caked up in the crossover tube. But since I have the extra one I'll have that sent out... no sense in having all that buildup. With the motor hot a can of SeaFoam or other topend cleaner may get rid of most.

I also peered at the valves, quite a bit of that junk on the backside of them too. So I will probably run a few cans of SeaFoam through there to see if I can get some of that burned out. Maybe that BG stuff I've seen too.
