    one reason that cranking didnt budge it is because there is a opening between the washer and file that the compression can escape through, so i epoxy over this opening? or ... maybe the exhaust valve is stuck open, so it cant build compression?----------------------would blowing compressed air...

    is it safe to run on 7 cylinders( pulled injector)?

    yes I cranked the motor, nothing. soaked it in kroil for 4 days(started to worry about hydrolocking). the file is snapped off flush with the washer. Installing part of an injector will not stop the compression from blowing out the top of the injector.. ..................... that would be fine...

    is it safe to run on 7 cylinders( pulled injector)?

    I have a 1" piece of triangle file stuck in the copper washer in the #1 cylinder and cant get it out. would I damage anything by running the engine without this injector? will the different temps warp the head? I can route the fuel to the #1 inj. back to the return so that wont be a problem...

    Glow plug Replacement

    just a little antisieze at the threads, 10 ft lbs. you can use a fuel hose to get them started in the opening(some of them are hard to get into) 1/4 bendable extension and a real deep 1/4" 3/8 socket will make it easy.

    pulling the heads- can the engine be slid forward to get enough room?

    Would it give me enough clearance to remove the rad. and condensor and slide the engine forward? I would also like to install my turbo, I know my knuckles will appreciate.

    glow plugs- can zd9 gp's work with a zd1a connector?

    how about splicing onto the wire with the zd9 connector and taping the zd1a connector- this way if I need to go back to the older style i can just remove the tape and plug it in.
