1991 nissan navara TD27 engine issues

[talalala29]

Hi guys just bought this thing. Never owned one and is it just mine or are these incredibly slow I cant even hit 100kmh on the highway. Whs wrong with it? Really it does not feel normal. Had a look under the hood and last owner
Pulled the fricken air filter out, opened oil cap and dipstick black grey sludge everywhere.I jus t know theres power loss what could it be...

shove a litre of diesel in the oil and let it idle for 10 minutes then dump it(repeat as nessassary) Don't rev it.

I take it that it isn't turbo charged? use the search function here to see pics of how to increase fuel may help.

Get a compression test done, with sludgy oil and no air filter it is probably poked.
It should do a 100ks no problem they just take a bit of time getting there.

Check the fuel filter, when I got my terrano it was gutless as, took out duel filter and found heaps of sludge etc. new one installed and goes like a bat out of hell..sort of

Also check the valve clearances, the valves have a habit of wearing holes in the rockers
