Even with all of that blow by?

I mean
battery $80
New oil cooler lines, made local $80ish
New engine mounts $35
New filters, oil some cooling hoses $100

So $800+/- in decent shape driveline wise?

I guess what else am I going to get that drives and runs decently for $800? But that warm skip bothers me. It could be a dead injector, poorly adjusted or shot valve or a dead cylinder.

Maybe monday I'll stop down his office and buy it monday. The blow by bothers me but it did fire right off without glow plugs. It was probably 100+ under the hood at the time though.
