I'm p/u a 1979 504 diesel this weekend from my old man. Free no less.
Anyway, it has been sitting for about 15 years (no wonder it's free!)
and I want some advice on what steps to take BEFORE i attempt to start
it. It's been in a garage in Phoeniz, Az. (e.g. High summer heat) so I
assume it will need standard hose, belt, tire etc. replacement due to
dry rot. However, after I do those sorts of change-outs, what would
you propose I do next? Fuel lines will eventually be changed for
WVO/SVO conversion, but what about head gaskets, valve cover gaskets,
oil pan gaskets, etc.? What about ALL the fluids including rear-end,
tranny, and other "sealed" fluids? What I don't want to do is start
the thing and blow the engine before I even get a chance to run the
thing. I'm stoked about it, but have all the time in the world to do
it right, BEFORE I start it.
thanks.
