sorry i don't have your specs but i'm a heavy diesel tech. if it hasnt ran since '96 the rings may not be seatet well any more due to thicken oil in the ring pack. but i'll tell you its proably fine, its a good engine and you said it's rebuilt. if you want to be very carful than pour marvel mystery oil or automatic trans fluid in the cyl. to loosen the rings and rotate the engine with the nozzles out. note if started after this proceedure i did not ruin your motor the smoke will go away give it time.

'Great program, real easy to list engines.'

'We sold a Turbo in 2 weeks to a guy in Houston! We also sold the first engine we listed - an old Hatz. It took 2 months to sell but that was OK as we couldn't move it locally. We track visitors to our website and we get lots from DieselEngineTrader.com. Your website really works, it's a great service and we'll be using DieselEngineTrader.com for years to come!'
