I am not sure what I am going to with the engine, if I am going to rebuild or replace.
I need to get a leakdown tester and see what the deal is I guess. Would be nice to just have a burnt valve or something.

If you just want to listen to the leaking sound you can mod your compression tester adapter to take lower pressure compressed air.
If compressed air is leaking out of the Valve you would hear it in the manifolds.
If it is leaking by the piston you would hear the sound coming from the crankcase.
If you go to the harborfreight website and look at their leak back setup you will find it is only for gasoline engines and you are going to need to find a way to hook it up to the diesel. Also the site has the instructions for the setup in .pdf format.
So you can look at the instructions and see how much compressed air psi you need and so on.
