might be worth a try to pull a head from your existing motor, the one with bad starter bolts and put it on this motor to test compresion. This should let you know if it is a ring problem or a valve seat problem. you can use the same head bolts just dont do the last bit of torquing. They will be...

what did the gaskets look like. the motor has not had coolant for quite some time, they could have dry rotted. I can't see any problems, maybe throw some gaskets in it and retry the test. IF you have a place to check the heads then that might not be a bad idea.

my apologies that I miss read the post, I did not see the post of the test, I thought I saw a comment that they were all at 200. I have been traveling the past few days and did not go back and re-read everything. just because they were ohm tested does not mean they are glowing at the ends and...

I will do what I can to help. let me know what you find out. I really think it is not getting any heat to glow plugs, they were new but pull them and test them with battery charger or other 12 volt source. make sure they are glowing on the end and not in the middle. also check your glow plug...

I just read the post to see that you don't know who you got the motor from, I think I sold you the motor. IF you met me in lake Charles on 3-29-19. my PM's on the steel soldiers account got erased so I cannot confirm that it is you that I sold it to but I have text messages on my phone dated...

before you pull the engine, you need to pull the heads and check the head gaskets. if you put either in it, you could very easily have blown the head gaskets out.

what method are you using to do a compresion test. you need to pull the ip wire, pull all glow plugs so you can get good speed on the starter and then test one cylinder at a time. make sure the injectors are torqued to the right spec and have the washers in place. the engine should only need...

if you cannot find a compression test tool, I have one. I am out of town until Monday but I can mail it to you. it has an adaptor that goes in the glow plug hole. you test it with the starter and the glow plugs out. install the tool, connect gauge and turn it over a couple times to get a reading...
