Well with the price of gas these days and no reprise in the for seen future I figure it was high time to try and revive my SIII diesel engine that I had in the shop. I know, I know, slow noise and under powered, but it's what I have and I don't exactly live in Vancouver! It's going to go into my SIIa 88" and I'll but the stronger gas in my 109" which current has a under powered 7:1 in it...
So any advice would be greatly appreciated, we all hate surprises, especially ones that cost! :x
History: Came in the back of my 109 that I purchased in Vanderhoof (God that's a long ways away!) I was told that it ran when it was removed from the vehicle, for what ever that's worth... Strangely enough it came with a new set of pistons (not installed of course) and the I've been told the injector pump has been rebuilt.
So here is a short video of it running... SMOKEY!!!

Is that amount of smoke normal? Seems to be just white smoke, just a touch of black on first crank... :?:
Also my next question is the plumbing of the coolant any one have some good pictures of how it's supposed to go? And what the heck goes in here?

Thirdly I need the metal fitting and flaring for the fuel return, anyone know where I can get one, I know it's some sort of strange flaring unlike brakes.

2.25 diesel
:) My 2.25 diesel smokes like that on first start up. Clears up and disapears after warming up after approx 3-5 min. And doesn't return until I start it next time I take out the Prime Minister. :wink:
