Did you make a complete overhaul? Which parts did you replace?

Thanks I only did the basic setups as suggested by the book then it started and ran nicely. Yes these cars often end(ed) up in the wrong hands...people who thought and believed "ohh diesels run forever!" Etc...
Add the rare& expensive tools, regular oil that was changed rarely, some lack of maintenance and all this immediately explains how the VW made d24(t) motor became infamous (especially in the usa).

My video shows the very first start after the basic refurb AND that was BEFORE I took the head off 2.5yrs later (last month).
I got busy with other projects so the thread will not receive updates like I originally wanted to do it.

In the meantime, parts are on the way, the head is off, getting cleaned and lots of measurements will follow. Im hoping to post it up soon. So far it looks like another very slow project.

Are you changing piston/rings, valve, bearings, etc...

I disassembled the engine, head is off but I havent taken measurements yet. I havent got big nonturbo plans though... The two d24 spares are my engines to learn things on.

I'm not sure to understand... You have or not some big turbo plans?
