[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 103463, member: 82"] Checking the universal joint is a good idea. Grease it up and make sure both of them are free to move around without binding. If they feel off, change them. When they let go, they can cause lots of damage. If it ran well before pulling the pump and engine, i wouldn't really bother checking/replacing anything. Glow plugs and injectors are accessable with the engine in place. Not as good, but can be worked on if something is an issue. If you were at all concerned. Get a pallet and ratchet strap the engine to it, Hook up a battery and fire it up and see if it starts and runs well, if it does, no need to do anything to it. Use a jug of fuel and prime it, give it a good 30 second glow then crank, see if it fires right up or not. If it does, you know you're all good. Just don't run it too long, as you aren't running coolant in it, you don't want to over heat it. 10 or so seconds is really all you need to know if it's running well or not, give it some throttle and shut off.
