Hit it with some Cosby sauce👍😂👍
on my buddies swap, we put the glow plugs on their own switch without a timer. You can turn them on for as long as you want and leave them on for the first 10-20 seconds once it starts. really helps!
Pulled an L33 from luckys today, missed the LQ9 that hit the yard 3 hours earlier lol
Brrrrr! JR. Keep us entertained. Can't wait for Spring.
You might consider a flamestart/thermostart unit such as is fitted to Perkins diesels. You easily have the knowhow to fit on yr Merc. Screws into intake manifold, has a tapping from fuel filter and one hot wire to energise it. I fit them to engines with hard starting issues. Had a 6/354 Perkins marine engine that for 11 years took 30-40 seconds up to a minute of cranking to get fired up. Fitted a thermostart unit to it. Hit switch for 5-10 seconds and fires up now on 2nd compression everytime regardless of outside temp.
They come in diff thread sizes and wiring terminal arrangements. You may even get away from using glow plugs. All the little Pre-com Perkins only had that as a starting aid, no glow plugs.
Just a thought.
I have a perkins ad3.152 that I just installed one in, best intake heaters there is in my opinion works flawlessly
Love the Diesel project! Looks like fun
Watching it crank up makes me happy. I would love to do this to a 3rd gen 4runner
The little engine that could......jr you the man!
I am in bed with a fever. I just watched this through two bloodshot blurry eyes. And it still makes me smile. You got good compression. Those rings are worth the trouble to replace. Theraflu and back to bed now. Thanks.
I hope you feel better!
Videos make me cold just watching!!
You can run 90% dewatered veggy oil with 10% gas to thin it out.
I can also just run straight veggie oil lol
little ether would have had it running from the start lol we use it lots here in canada
Little temperamental I'm always in a hurry so I keep starter fluid on n hand
Can't be in a hurry when you drive a OM617 in a 4runner lol
@@TheDrivewayEngineer yes sir had a perkin in a 80 luv 65 if wind wasn't blown but never failed me once in 10 years I drove it actually hit a cow in it one morning drove it home with a bent frame
