Thanks, Hank. I'll definitely re-do this job. Injectors was one of the first things I did, then it went to a pro for the rocker arm assembly, so its possible the seals need another look at.

| Ah ok. I wouldn't say it was smoky, and its definitely fine droplets of oil. It just seems like a lot of pressure being chucked out. |

Managed to get her going today, a battery charge and some anti-gel additive seemed to do the trick.
When I plugged a trickle charger onto the battery it was reading around 11 volts, so imagine the ... |

Ah thank you! Curious to see what that thread suggests.
I think plumbing something in on the coolant lines sounds like a solid approach! Thanks for the suggestion. |

| Really appreciate that advice. I think I'll start with a conditioner for the battery, just to ensure it's looked after when the temperatures really drop. I've got a terminal point just under the hood ... |

| I have thought about a block heater, but I'm not confident where I'd get one. Might reach out to the local parts specialist to see if they can advise on one. I've got power to my parking space, so it ... |

| Thanks for the advice. We're set for some much milder weather in the coming days so I'll see if I can check the filter for water, and fill up with some arctic diesel at the local gas station. They ten ... |

Hah! Yes, I should have clarified in the title perhaps.
I think the fuel does begin to gel around -10, so that could also be an issue. There's anti-gel solutions you can buy at the local auto parts ... |
