My guess is pump installed wrong & starter dead.
"The engine went from hard to start to will not start."
$3500 not bad price & I'm a cheapskate. Nice features for a camper/hunter if lifted.
Pull all the rod caps off then bump the pistons to clear the crank. Remove the main caps. That crank will probably be too damaged to repair anyway. Hopefully the rod cap nuts were not that loose.
You may even have damage to the base of the #8 cylinder casting. Beat the hell outta that rod
Easiest way to replace (for me) is to remove bed. 3-4 friends after you have soaked the mounting bolts and nuts under the bed/frame. Kroil if you have it handy or any good 'loose-juice'. Don't forget to unplug lights at rear bumper and disconnect both tank fill hoses from bed (3 screws each...
Cold and sweating Sounds Good!! At least you are at a point where you have cooling & can watch it. Ideal rpm to check pressures is 1500-2k. Warm weather will be back soon to check your charge. :Thumbs Up
Use plenty of 'loose juice' before attempting to remove rusted bolts. Carriage bolts. next size larger, should work. Get some silicone grease from amazon and 'lather' the threads.
Rubber fuel hose will slip over the nylon lines tightly + use hose clamps
May be running down rear of engine. Check turbo lines and valve covers. VCs can pour from the rear. Clean & Check everything else before pulling tranny. You have a lot of oil draining down the sides/rear on pipe per your photo. Did not sling there
I did the same a long time ago on my '86 4x4 in sig. Never again. I pull the bed all the time now & take care of other things that need attention while it is off. If you have an engine puller, you can make a simple frame to attach to the arm and lift it off. Otherwise get 3 other friends to...
That's a lot of oil! If it leaks that bad, pull the tranny and replace the seal. 1st Pull that inspection cover & make sure nothing else like valve covers may be leaking & oil pan where it meets block at rear. Crank seal bad will show oil on the flywheel.
If water in the oil, you don't want to drive it. Will heat up and pressurize more water in the oil & mess up bearings. Hopefully #4 was determined by pulling glow plugs and it pumped water. May be a cracked head.
Otherwise may also be an oil cooler leak and didn't want to mess with it anymore.
Only shows 1 in my '85 Factory Manual but all where serviced at same dealer. Maybe a dealer thing:dunno
Manual shows double of same size on throttle return.
Just an artist conception tho, not a photo
