have been around, just touring for a while. lots of help with diagnosing problems. glow plug controller problems etc. thought my turbo was bad from the oil inside so got 1from 84 + inj. pump.my pump leaked from throttle shaft &would lose prime. rebuilt 84 turbo, installed 84 pump. more power but more smoke too. blow by was extreme. so iguess my 83 turbo was good. still have full 83 intake/exhaust/turbo/downpipe assembly & leaky 83 pump. thought head gasket would fix because i had coolant blow out radiator cap too. headshop said head was cracked under prechamber 2&3 now need new head. 4d55 head is hard to find. checking other posts for info also uk ebay. 4d56 is easier to find. engine is apart. the guy i bought it from said per odom. 79k mi., all bearings showed very little wear. damage seems to be caused by overheating, noticed thermostat was in backwards when i first tried to get it running. i think std rod & mains + balances. lots of ring ridge. #3piston had impact like glow plug? or something got in & passed after 20-30 revs. need to go over size on them + check rods. sources for parts would be appreciated everyone i talk to says i didnt even know they made those with diesel. thanks for directions if i seem lost, im new in these parts.
