Here is the link for what you need. If you do replace it I think is is best to slide the bed back a foot or so to get room to work to replace the sender and the hoses.https://a.co/fIGVDr5
You're a good man Rick. Thank you for you're words of wisdom, may the good Lord comfort you and your family during your time of grief. My heart and my prayers go out to you. I'm so sorry for you're loss.
Good job! You are a skilled mechanic and take pride in your work. It's great to hear that it started up and ran good. I'm looking forward to the next run time.
I would tend to agree that running a motor without the cooling system installed is a gamble. If his motive is to just fire the engine up and shut it down in 15 seconds to make sure the motor will lite up then I think he will be fine.
An actual leak down tester has areas that measure the amount of air escaping. If the volume is acceptable it will measure in the green area. You will get air seepage but the amount is what is important.
Here is an article about turbos that may interest you. Scroll down to #138 and #139https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/84-m1009-cucv-chevy-blazer-build-up.77114/page-7
You will definitely hear the valves leaking. If the valves are in need of replacement you will hear air leaking through the tail pipe or the manifold. You will need to put each cylinder at top dead center to check the valves. There are a few different ways to determine top dead center. Once you...
You should be able to use the hose from your compression gauge. Just unscrew the hose from the gauge and put an air hose fitting on the hose, then use your glow plug fitting and put 70 psi into the cylinder to do a leak down test.
You can do a leak down test. If you get air leaking out of you radiator you have a blown head gasket. Air out of your exhaust would indicate a exhaust valve leaking. Air out of your manifold would indicate a leaking intake valve. Air out of your oil dip stick or oil fill tube would indicate...

If your drive shaft has been removed it has to go back on in phase or else you could get a wobble. Have you checked your drive shaft? http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/PR-shaft/phase.jpg Green is correct.
If you have the ability to do a compression test that would tell you a lot about the internals of the engine. If you have good compression on all the cylinders a leak down test would not be indicated. If your compression is not what it should be then a leak down test would tell you where your...
You said you heard a loud clacking the same noise you heard when you're old motor let go. If you do decide to open up you're valve covers, I would run the motor without the covers on to make sure everything is working properly. You could also remove you're push rods and roll them over a piece of...
