Hello i have a 2004 nissan 40 Tldi. I just got it. I checked all fluids and put new gas in it. The previous owner told me it ran fine when parked 3 years ago. It also had a new water pump put in 3 years ago with less than 1 hour on new pump.
I hooked water too it and started it. It fired right up water peed out good and it ran 30 seconds and the air compressor locked up and killed engine. I took air compressor apart and found piston seized tight in cylinder. It was dry of oil. I ordered a new cylinder and piston rod and rings. I oiled it up with oil good and put it back together. How do i check to make sure the oil pump is oiling it before i try to start it again. The parts to fix it the first time were $230 and i am scared to start it not knowing if its going to oil. What should i do ??? Thanks
