1981 Olds Cutlass diesel (not mine)

Not mine. $5k obo Link as follows: https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/h...374442864.html

"Selling a 81 cutlass 350 diesel no rust very low miles 57k. The car sat in climate control since 2000 last time it was driven was 2018. Needs batteries and fuel to be drained and change the fuel filter. I don't have the time I have another project that's requiring more money and time. Letting this clean rust free car go to new home to help fund my other car. Call or text if your interested. These cars are getting harder and harder to come by and especially in this condition $5000 obo (612) 817-6115"

Car has apparently been sold. There can't be too many Cutlass diesel's around anymore.

Surprised the diesel was still running. Was it the weak cranks that doomed the Olds diesel?

The blocks are really strong (hence why they used in race applications).

I've never heard that the Oldsmobile cranks were weak in either a gas or diesel engine.

The Oldsmobile diesels were lemons because they didn't have a water separator from the factory. Plus, Oldsmobile technicians at the time weren't properly trained to service diesel engines. That and how many folks do you know with Oldsmobile powered race cars that run 22.5:1 compression?
