3/13/20: Engine
Work continues on the engine. The following images show the original instrument panel, before and after removing from its protective housing.
Taking the advice of my diesel mechanic, I ordered a new panel, which should be delivered in about a week. More on that later. In the meantime, I had the injectors and injector pump rebuilt.
Here’s Michael (my mechanic) working on reinstallation.
We also changed fuel and oil filters, and replaced the fresh-water impeller. Here we’re almost ready for a test run.
The following are videos, and speak for themselves. The engine idles and revs beautifully (though it might not sound like it from the audio).
