Going to hold off on rebuilding this engine. The head had some pitting so we decided to try a wagon engine we had sitting around that we were going to sell. Connected the SLS lines to the reservoir that I filled with hydraulic fluid, popped on our 38# flywheel, connected up an exhaust system and filled it with new oil. We connected up a battery then cranked it over without glowing the glow plugs because we wanted to build oil pressure before it started but it came to life rather quickly and ran very smooth for a bit (incredibly smooth considering it was just sitting on the floor). Minimal smoke, pretty good considering how long it had sat. Doesn't seem to have any major leaks unlike the other engine. Probably going to use it but once it warmed up, it started having a lumpy idle, but did idle at full oil pressure. Going to rebuild the lift pump and runs can or two of diesel purge. If that doesn't fix it, we'll pull the injectors to test how well they function.
