how do you know the engine is worn out ? 
I was running in sand and then the engine just quite, temp was 240F. 
I tried to run again, but it would not run... i took the engine cleaned it out, but still the same problem
replaced glow plug.. no change.. 
what should i look for, if the engine is worn out.. 
this is only the 15th time the engine has worked ... 

Cheers

u know the engine is worn out by it having low compression. if you pull it over slow does it turn over without feeling any resistence? also when u thghtened the head bolts did u make sure to go diagonal? if u just went to each one in a clockwise or counter clockwise pattern that could b a problem cuz the head my b slightly off alowing a compression leak
