I started the engine on Sunday. I don't have the throttle (yes I know diesels don't have those) or the shifter connected.

There is more shaking and rattling than I wanted, but I hope that's just because the motor mounts aren't secure yet. I think that will go away once things are bolted down as they should be. I also can't hear the turbo spin up, but still have more things to check on that. I know the engine has oil pressure because it had a leak where I didn't tighten down the intake line to the turbo, but the Harley oil pressure sending unit doesn't turn the oil light off. I think that's because Harley has a lot higher oil pressure than the diesel produces.

Expect another update in a couple of days. I'll take some pictures and post them. If I can figure out how to post a video, there will be one of those as well.
