Wow, sounds like you've really got a bad one there... Hope you get it out soon. BTW I didn't mention it earlier but make sure the piston is down before you try driving the GP in.

I stopped running the WVO for now as I collected a lot of data while doing so, and I want to get comparisons on just running biodiesel. I won't be running WVO till I get at least 40,000 on B100. Eventually I will probably use B100 for short trips and warmup, and run WVO for highway.

How do you know when the piston is down?

If you crank it by hand w/ a socket on the damper, keep going until the intake valve closes. That will get you close to BDC on the piston.
