okay I"m looking for advise.
I have a 656 diesel head was redone about 30 hours ago and it was drinking oil. so I rebuilt the engine. new sleeves, pistons, new glow plugs(has the pencil style)new wiring harness, new glow plug switch, new fuel filters. This thing is almost impossible to start even with the last few days in the mid 60"s.I understand these are hard starting engines but this seems terrible. will it get better once i have the engine broke in good? i only have about 3 hours on it mostly just driving up and down the road or idling. haven"t worked it yet. I would appreciate any insight as i don"t think you should have to run 2 brand new batteries down to start it when it"s 65 degrees.also after it"s ran for 10 minutes or so you can shut it down and it will restart great but let it sit about 3 hours and it"s hard to start again.
