I got in touch with a freind of mine, cheif engineer on ships. he suggested leave everything as is disconnect the fuel from injectors and put compressor oil in base. the oil will catch fire if blowby is happening, with heat in the air. he figured run the exhaust into a tank. trying it out will prove or disprove. i planned on using pto from a tractor to turn the diesel engine. i want something with enough air volume to sand blast with authority.
