Just an update on my tach cable oil leak. I did drain some oil to down below the top notch on the dip stick and the leak has virtually stopped, but I still think I have a blow-by problem. I am pretty well convinced I am gaining fluid in my crankcase, but I have not gained much over the past several hours of run-time. Maybe it was a stuck ring/rings.
Can somebody tell me the expected gauge reading I should have on a compression test. Does 185-200 sound about right for a well-worn engine? Both cylinders looked exactly alike. I would think the 1700 and 1500, or any other small diesel engine should be about the same.
