Bought this D8A lump from the scrappy.
Was told it was a runner but wanted to hear it for myself.
110K, block is really quite clean (rocker cover seal isn't leaking!)
So we strapped it to the pallet, hung some diesel lines to it and heated the glow plugs.
Its a bit 'fluffy' on running but its been out of the car for the last couple weeks apparently.
Got my eye on a couple shells to put it in but over Christmas going to cam-belt, water-pump, get the pump done and service it up.
Nothing much to see but thought I'd video the thing starting.
