Especially hard to find with no mold or rot, in that good of shape.

That's a rarity to find anymore. Very cool!!

1. Yeah, you can remove them individually no big deal2. I don't think an impact will work for a compression test, but I guess it's worth a shot. I would pull the head, but that's up to you. it will allow you to really inspect the condition of the valves, bores, and rods. also, it would allow you to make a perfect TDC mark on your flywheel.3&4 sounds like you have the right idea.

Thanks, will do. Want to do some checkups (for the engine running without oil, since this is the biggest risk as I see); turbo shaft seems fine. 1. Can I remove 1 camshaft cap, so I can inspect the cam scoring? I read somewhere, long time ago, that this would lead to unbalanced pressure on the camshaft, and possibly snap the camshaft2. Any tests people suggest me to do while engine is on engine stand ? I'll do the compression test through the glowplug holes3. What kind of seals should I replace; I’ll do the: rear main seal, front main seal, valve cover, new oil pan (steel + alu) with new RTV gasket, oil filter housing gasket. Don’t want the engine leaking oil4. Other stuff I need to do? Ofcourse will do timingbelt, waterpump (I got one with alu impeller)===Long story===I recently bought an ALH engine in “unknown” condition. The engine turns over and gives heavy resistance (although not as much as my 1.6D) in the compression stroke, so that’s good. I have looked around and made a plan to test it;1. Remove glowplugs & boroscope internals (make sure no scoring on walls, crosshatching is there)2. Do compression test, using impact on the crank- I heard some people say it’s bad, but I’ll remove 3 out of 4 glowplugs), the crankshaft bolt can go to 200nm and my impact 150nm max- Compression test is done while engine is on engine stand, so cold. Should give slightly lower results (as per my experience on the 1.6D), but:-- Even when cold, the compression result should be above wear limit-- Difference between cylinders should be 50psi or lower3. Leakdown test (if compression test is bad)4. Check cam caps5. Remove oil from engine, check for shavings6. Flip over engine, replace oilpan

Wow, quite the hoard there fella. At one time I thought I needed to replace the vacuum pump on my pickup. I just needed a better check valve on it. Good luck finding homes for all of that stuff.

Also have a really nice spare mech head I found recently. Those are not cracks @injector bores...look like casting or tool marks...

Could be worth a shot Ill get pics of vac pump and the other bits, I have a Nos intermediate shaft for it too...literally complete long block with exception of camshaft.

Maybe drive the old beater to Ohio, build the engine, swap it out and drive it home?
