Hello Kent,

I have a 1983 300d with 155k miles on the engine. I have a rough idle issue and no power on take off. slow as a old dog. I have replaced all diesel filters. in tank screen also. I replaced motor mounts and shocks. performed diesel purge, got lil better, but still same issue. Performed valve adjustment, checked cam lobes, ok. performed cold compression test, found 410 to 405 on 1,2,3,4 and 5 cylinders. replaced glow plugs and relay.checked turbo alda, correct and functioning. checked for blockage, found clean and clear. I really dont know what else can be causing this issue. HELP!
I am researching an alternative to the diesel injector hard lines that provide the fuel to the injectors.
I am interested in the nut size and I am looking at flexible hydraulic lines and racing fuel lines.
Does anyone have experience testing alternative fuel lines?
Two quick questions. I am about to adjust the valves (5cyl 617) to do a compression test on an engine that has not been turned in a couple of years. I just took the valve cover off and everything looks as it should. No sign of corrosion anywhere, oil still present on surfaces.
Should I put oil down the cylinders prior to turning for valve adjustment?
How much in each cylinder?
Thanks
