Hi Tim,
Well I started following the Tech Tip for the first start but then decided I should take it out and run through it before I start it. I don't want to damage anything... my brother is a skilled diesel engine technician and he advised against trying to start it before a detailed inspection. What are your thoughts Tim?
By replacement I meant what process the dealers/shops would take when they replaced a worn out block with new. I can't understand why they would stamp a different serial on a new block, and it was clearly hand stamped indicating it is not the original engine from another vehicle.
By the way your '54 fleet is spectacular, but you already know that haha.
James
