This being my 1st diesel motor build, I tore down the bottom end last night and man what a god awful smell! The oil has been drained, the head off and the oil pan has been off for like 2 weeks now, I pull the pistons and crank and man the foul smell of oil is horrible.
Do all diesels smell this bad?
The engine under the hood is going to smell worse than the dead body in the trunk!
