No. I didn't buy it. Sorry.

Received my compression tested from harbor fright today. am working all through the weekend but expect to test monday and tues. got the unit running but very rough. Obviously needs a valve cover gasket to replace the one I just replaced and damaged. jerry

the set they offer for diesel is something over $100. the $30 one is generic auto. I ordered a third type kit today from them for about $30 and will advise if it works. jerry

Found the glow plug info from Home. Jerry

Thanks. Will check further. I don't know what is needed to check compression on these units but I assume the TM will have all. Bores looked okay. I have fuel to the injectors but I may try to get the MEP-003a ones tested. Still need glow plug source. There has to be someone less expensive...

from delks military surplus. high price but they had them as well as head gaskets.

My Challenging MEP-002a's This is becoming frustrating. I have 2 of these and one runs well with a livable oil leak (perhaps a quart a day) from the oil housing upper right where a bolt is broken off behind the fan (which I can't get off with a harmonic ballancer puller) got to find or make...
