I'd be curious as to what all has been done to the engine over time-wonder if the heads have been off? injectors? turbo?

That would have been my other guess. Makes sense, I suppose.

I had the valve covers off, injectors and glow plugs have been changed. best I can tell from talking to current owner and looking at engine the rest is stock.

I remember logging on to a Youtube channel where these guys kept jacking up the power on this 7.3L - powered truck with 800K on the ticker. They had done so many power mods and experiements in the past, then they'd dyno the truck time and again. The last mod windowed the block... but at 800K, it kept taking it until they overdid it.
