Finally got the engine back together but haven't run it yet. However, this
afternoon I did run a compression check with a new  inexpensive "Made in
China" diesel compression tester bought on eBay & what I found, I  think it
is bad news. I got the following readings: #1- 200 psi, #2-230 psi, #3-155
psi, #4-315 psi. If I recall correctly, ideal compression readings should be
400psi. This is a 1981 Dasher diesel, to refresh your memories.

I removed all the injectors & checked one cylinder at a time. Found carbon
deposits on bottom of each injector. Should I clean them with carburetor
cleaner, something else, or leave them alone.

I removed the injectors with a 1&1/16 inch deep socket. Don't have a metric
deep socket set that large' What size metric deep socket should I buy if I
can't a large metric deep socket set to buy.. The largest metric deep socket
I have is 24mm.
