Probably a stupid question but I got 2 comments from family members and I don't honestly know which one is true.
So its 34F outside this eve, I had to move the backhoe (63/64 4000 4cyl diesel) and it cranked over about 5 times and started up. No glow plugs no ether. Clean exhaust no visible smoke or stink.
My brother said "Oh that means the engine is really tight, someone must have rebuilt it as old as it is. It has great compression to start like that in the cold" My nephew said "no... that doesn't mean much, All old diesels start that easy if they spin over fast enough and the injector pump is good"
To be honest... I dont which one is right and who is full of it. :lol:
So which one wins the BS award of the week?
