Well you are there and all of us are somewhere else.That Ford mechanic saying he thought it was fine compression goes back to the Xray eyes deal.You cant trust anybody really.The guy could be a pathological liar and cant tell the truth.I would have to ask him why he would think 80 pounds is enough,unless its way higher and he knows it by the sound or something.The fuel shutoff could be your problem if not pumping any fuel.I would check that.It is [probably something simple thats been overlooked and that fuel shut off could be it.People will do some crazy things.Ive seen a lot of stuff being a mechanic for 10 or 12 years.Usually when I was working on stuff,they would round off every bolt head and then bring it to the shop and expect you to fix it in a big hurry.I worked on big trucks,mostly Cummins but some Detroits and Cats and Internationals and other stuff.So I know diesels fairly well,just not the one you are working on.I have had to set the valves on one like I told you how to do it,because somebody put the engine together and didnt line up the timing marks.So when you adjusted the valves using the timing marks,it wouldnt even run.Ive seen a lot of stuff but it was back in the 1980s and early 1990s when I worked on trucks full time.So if you think there is a problem with the head gasket,it may very well be the problem.Could be worth a look.

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
