Honestly, I just haven't gotten a compression tester for a diesel yet. The reason for the test was to add boost and my own curiosity the hour meter never worked and i believe this engine has 2000+ hours.
I will say this it starts right up i just get a little more black smoke then i'd like to see and i suspect it may have slight low compression on start up but i am really talking out of my butt here as without a scan tool i am stupid.
I am sure you are wondering why spend the money to do all of this if i suspect something is wrong. I recently found a place that import small diesel from japan and they sell D600's. I wanted to make sure the rest of the machine was ready and needed no other maintenance. I am sure this D600 will survive plow day and this entire mowing season without needing to be touched.
I am open to any input from you J-mech i am sure you have a lot more diagnostic skills without needing to use a scan tool take it easy on me i am only 28.
