Found this and was wondering what could cause this? I am interested in the block mostly.

no fuel

No fuel,old bad fuel, no power to fuel shut off solenoid,totally shot injection pump, no working glow plugs, or plugged air intake.

I was figuring ip problems but I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something else. I am thinking ol blue may be needing a new block with an over full oil pan. Atleast a fresh(ER) engine would be nice.

A million reasons and based on that add alone I'd say the guy doesn't know squat about diesels.

I will take my compression tester and see for myself if it is still around after this weekend. I don't need the IP just a good block hopefully.

If the start is still on you can check compression by jumping the starter to a battery

I talked to that guy in August. Figured I'd drop by and take a look at it on my way to OKC check on Mom. The guy didn't seem to have a whole lot of info, and my impression was that it has been sitting (outside) for a long time. He also didn't seem too concerned about whether it sold anytime soon.

Just check real carefully for traces of water in the oil pan or in the intake manifold/intake runners before you try to crank it over.

I called and talked to him and he said it HAD been out side for a few years. He broke it lose by filling the cylinders with oil. He also said the starter can barely crank it over. I passed, he didn't want me to pull the heads or pan and said he will just keep it no big deal.
