What would happen if they ran a diesel at , let’s say...35:1? Could they make an engine that strong that all the seals and moving parts could handle it?
Be an interesting experiment. Could it run on straight vegetable oil?(like the original diesels did-—peanut oil IIRC)

Mine was an 83 I bought new

Drove it about 240,000 miles.

I think I replaced the clutch.
