Hi all,
I finally got around to checking the compression on my 1984 300SD.
400 in all cylinders with 100 or 125 on the first crank for all of
'em.
I guess that's pretty good. The engine has 215K on it.
When I pulled the injectors out a couple of them had
a lot of black soot around the nozzle. I gently ran my
finger across the tip as I was told that if it snags your finger it's
time for a new nozzle. They all seemed fine for that test.
I've been running biodiesel in it for a couple of months now
and will be switching over to waste veggie oil soon.
Should I leave well enough alone or should I change
out the nozzles at some time as preventative maintenance?
Thank to all,
Jeff
