In addition to all the good advice and comments in the other posts, let me add that the 450 diesel was the biggest engine, displacement wise, of the MD-400D-450D line and was the most prone to head cracking problems---which were usually the result of improper cooldown/shutdown technique and overheating because of the bigger displacement with the same, more or less, cooling ability.
