Timing an engine requires that it have spark plugs, a diesel engine only has glow plus, no timing required. Now, if the valve to piston timing is off, you will need to replace the timing belt or chain, aligning the timing marks then. Get a repair manual like a Chilton's.

Yes, petrol will work in a diesel engine but will run rough for a short time before the engine needs extensive and expensive repairs.
Only if you have time to fix the resulting non running mess. Diesel fuel, no. Diesel engine oil, yes if it is the proper weight.
diesel engine tune up-valve adjustment,bleeding,on time method,change oil,change filter
Diesel run in any petrol engine will do damage if you can keep the engine running for a long period of time. A petrol engine will not start and run on diesel fuel alone Posted by Danny from Bee Mech Mobile Mechanics
how much tranny fluid are we talkin and why would you want to? the only time i would do this is if you have a old mechanical diesel engine then a little wont hurt
you need a dial gauge which screws into the back of the pump its pretty simple after that.
the diesel filter needs to be replaced
Higher sulphur diesel will not harm the engine but it will to the enviroment. Actually CDI engine runs fine with Euro 2M diesel, however the exhaust filter must be cleaned or replaced after some period of time.
2200 hours is equivalent to 10 p.m.
Whatever you do don't buy a junkyard diesel engine. The 350 car diesel was built off of a 350 gas engine at the time. So it did not work well and was very unreliable. I would suggest rebuilding your old diesel, or purchasing a new orre manufactured unit from GM. Theses routes will fix the common problems that made these engines hideously unreliable. GM basically killed most diesel engine car production with this unreliable engine. Everyone assumed every diesel was this bad. That is not the case, most other diesel's such as the Chevette 1.8 Isuzu diesel, and the VW diesel's of the time are very good. Hope I didn't sound preachy, I was just trying to help.
It won't run without fuel. If it ran dry it may take some time to get to the engine.
