A new project for me! (Need that like another hole in my head). Found a not so nice M1025, less top and other parts for a price I couldn't refuse. Partially disassembled but about everything included to put it back together.
Installed is a brand new 6.5L, never run. And there in lies the current problem. The engine may have been installed months or even years ago. Its all there, but does not have good compression, not enough to get it to fire off.
Has anyone experienced this? I will be investigating by pulling the valve covers and seeing what we have lurking under there, like corrosion or anything out of the normal. Pan has clean clear oil in it. While the glow plugs were out for a compression test a little MMO was added to each cylinder. I'll let that sit a few days and check compression again.
Any other suggestions?
