[QUOTE="bttpe, post: 131790, member: 19457"] It's finally back together. We've had it started and running and good compression on all four cylinders 420 psi +/- 5 psi. Using bolts on the two damaged cylinders. It does make it hard to start so we've added a small magnetic block heater in an attempt to get it to spin the motor faster. Now that it has run we have epoxied one of the glow plugs in place where we damaged the hole. That needs to sit for several days so that I'm confident in cure. I believe that we will pull the valve cover and double check valve clearance per the work shop manual and see if that helps. It was a "good" starting machine before so we hope to get back to that. Saving our money for a remanufactured head in the future. [/QUOTE]
