Hello,
So I have had the engine out on my 1970 2a diesel as part of the resto.
The head has been rebuilt with all new stuff and skimmed etc.
The piston rings and crank bearing shells all looked ok so we’re left, crank seal was changed.
So all the bottom end has not really been touched, therefore the injector pump timing should be as it was when it drove in the shed…??? Correct?
it’s all now built up and I tried to start it yesterday. After bleeding to get fuel to the injectors it ran on 1 cylinder ( I’m sure of this as when I crack that injector pipe it stalls)
The injectors are all new and working and the pump is the old one on the original timing mark.
So I’ve got fuel to all injectors and it’s ****ing out the leak off pipe.
When I crack each pipe it spits fuel as if it’s being pumped properly.
Am I right in assuming the timing won’t have moved?? And what the hell do I try next??
Any help appreciated.
Many thanks
