engine teardown and inspection going well, looks like i'll need to run the turbo from engine 1 though. learned a lot of little thing tearing this down that were good, like the back of the head has a steam port i hadn't noticed before! measured some things, decided some things will just get cut up.
whoever thought it was a good idea to put an EGR on a diesel was a complete and utter jack-a$s. even the stock engine had some soot, combined with the oil from the crank vent and it makes a sludge on EVERYTHING.
