block testing?

i think i will be tearing into the motor hear soon, going to get my heads presure checked, if that checks out going for block to be tested. (cavitation problem im sure) to pressure check the block does it have to be torn all the way down? any suggestions on the best way to go about this.

Do you mean a compression check? If so, you remove the glow plugs and screw in a DIESEL compression guage. For this test you have to remove only the glow plugs.
