Not familiar with the Ford Lehman, but a compression test is pretty basic to understanding what is going on in a diesel engine. Would be hard to go far wrong running this test. Thanks, Mark.

You should contact Brian Smith at American Diesel Corp (ADC) and talk to him about how to check out a Ford Lehman.

IF you end up buying anything with a Ford Lehman, they will be the go to people for parts so you may as well get to know them now.
Happy hunting!
