A bent rod in a diesel will definitely be a problem as far as firing on that cyl. goes... no compression (low) = no fire in that hole... - Original Message - From: "Zeke Yewdall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 10:15 AM Subject: Re: [Biofuel] O

Hey everyone I might become the proud owner of a 1981 longbed toyota pickup with a 2.2 liter NA diesel engine. I was just wondering if any of you (Keith?) have experience with this. It'll be run on B100 of course (and maybe SVO, if I feel like installing the heated fuel system in there). It nee
