Thansk for the suggestions..

Larry B=There is no oil in the coolant or visa-versa.

Leathrmang= I will do another leakdown test today at 100PSI.

Couple questions for anyone that can help.

1. What is the compression supposed to be on a240D with 160K?

2. What on earth would cause that exhaust manifold to crack in 2 places? That's the smoking gun question.. ( pun intended)
I must be overlooking something?? could the PO used ether and cracked them or would the head go sailing?

3. FYI- I have swapped injectors to different cylinders and still #1 does not fire. That should mean the Injection Pump is OK?

Thanks again.. hope I don'twear out my welcome.
