This is a 12mm engine correct?

Based on it being a Turbo Diesel then yes it should be, I will pull valve cover to verify.

Well I can't get it I turn over with a starter.
Anyways.. I guess that means I can't get a good compression test on it. So off with the head to inspect. Then I can flip her over and inspect the case/rods.
Keep posted!

What is the part number on the head?.
Are there any kind of a stamp on the precups (they might have been smoothed off)?

I am confident that the 109k on the odo is correct. $400 is a steal. Sounds like Cambo is getting this one.

It looks like a small crack on the right side of that pre-cup opening. I would also feel concerned about the abrading technique.

What technique? I your talking of how I cleaned it... I used a bristle disc. It is a hard rubber an did not remove any metal. Trust me I'm not stupid enough to take a grinding wheel or wire wheel to it. Haha.
I'll get a better pic of that precup I'm pretty sure it's not a crack.
I will be delivering this to camboscams later this week so lets say "PENDING SALE"

The green 3M bristle brushes definitely will remove aluminum and to a lesser extent will remove steel as well.
What looks like a small crack in that pic may just be an abrasion mark.

I'm sure if you sit there and hit the same spot it would.. But I've used it plenty of times. No problems. I hit it long enough to take the nastiness off and that's it.

Lucky for me i have unlimited access to a surface grinder at work, so surface scratches are not a problem.
As for the crack in the pre-cup has there ever been any cases of that causing any problems?

Yes, any cracks in the precup are a big problem - probably the biggest problem faced with the IDI engines. They can grow very quickly and once the prechamber is cracked through it will hammer into the piston destroying both the piston and head. Sometimes the pieces will fall into the cylinder destroying the rod and block as well.
