    Fark, that is going to be a major engineering pain I would think. Just thinking that scenario thru now, multitude of issues come to mind.

    Had a quick search and BD have done a conversion with a P400 into a GU, but its a caravan tug it sounds

    I hope it has a greater volume than the pissing little pan supplied with the Optimiser.

    Massive thanks to @MudRunnerTD (Daz) for putting me in touch with a Legendary old school mechanic for some overly kind Free friendly advice on the 2000 6.5NA Twactor quirks.
    Far from a mechanic me but always thought compression testing was my next steps when time permits.
    Never heard of “Leak-Down Testing” before but are sure now after speaking that this is truly the way to pinpoint a specific cylinder, top and or bottom annoying issue near exactly!
    McGoogled it tonight and seems so simply practical for diagnosis I hope!

    Truly appreciated Daz/Chris Blokes!!

    @PeeBee old mate, new to me and obviously haven’t bought an ‘LDT’ kit yet so soon as was kindly advised from the Blokes.
    Cutout below from the link found trying to learn:

    Would there be a time period to consider versus percentage loss I should be working too?
    The link found is confusing me a little as I’m sure over extended time periods all perfect cylinders would leak eventually?
    Cheers!

    Mark, we typically leak test compressors and the like over night, however am unsure if the tolerances are the same, maybe @nissannewby could assist or @garrett?

    Reading the procedure suggests the results should be fairly instant, as you are testing each leak point then moving onto the next cylinder.

    Slowly but surely getting there, Leak Down Tester arrived this week, needs some diesel modifications/adaptations made though.

    Instructions below for anyone else interested as I too never knew this pinpoint/isolating test existed.

    OK guys, today it gets serious....

    Truck has been dropped off for the transplant, lets see how it goes this time 'round.
    Almost a year latter to the day I dropped off the truck to the "first guy", now we start again.
    Will I start to hold my breath now, or not.
