It is the Arctic heather kit, diesel powered. Will confirm tomorrow but bring the engine temp to 140 or so by circulating the antifreeze through the block. I’ll dig out my TM for reference # ( I followed guyfang ethos “read the TM” :). )
It's alive, :), my thanks to guyfang, ray70 & jmenende. Lots of good advices and many tips on the forum. Cleaned injectors, injectors pump ( gary at gsj@gci.net was also very helpful in locating a used IP ). Water temp seems to be holding at 190°, cylinder hold around 195° when fully...

K, looked into it a bit further, all valve move up and down fine. No bent push rod . was able to remove 2 injectors so far, inserted long qtip. Black sludge on injectors and on top of piston. I assume next step if lifting the head. Will look for a TM. If anyone has tips or advice for...
In process of getting 803 running ( never fired up this far). A bit of history; got this set on Canadian version of gov surplus. No history, no indication of conditions at time of purchase. Set has 1810hrs and from different marking on various parts looks like it was serviced then parked...
