the engine so dirty and nasty from oil build up everywhere. It seems like the valve covers were leaking oil and they let go for too long. i bought the truck for 4000 which seemed like it was worht it and i drove it back about 100 miles or so and it drove real nice especially for having a bad power steering pump. it did have blow by but didnt seem like anything i would be concerned about the damper was so wore off from the rubber coming off that it was wobbling ( almost came off the pulley)

i took the injectors out and they seemed nice they are bosch 260 bar im not sureif they are stock or not but i ordered some contagious diesel injectors that are 5x .012/ Ive heard good things about those guys or guy so we will see once they get here. i also ordered aa new turbo but when it came it was way to big and i called the company and told them they need to list the sizes of the turbos they are selling. So im gonna stick with the stock turbo for now until i see that i need a new one or bigger one
