need help 2.25 diesel engine wont start

hi all i removed the head so i could replace the vavle seals sent the injectors away to be done. the engine is now all rebuild turns over but will not start as any one got any idears cheers andy

Bleed the injectors, make sure you have the fuel stop in the proper position.

Just crack off the fittings at the injectors and crank it till you see fuel at the fittings. Retighten and try it again.

hi cheers for that ive done that before i posted still nothing. so am a bit suck really to what it is

If you are getting fuel to the injectors and the valves are operating then I would suggest crankiing speed is deficient. Charge the battery and try again. Also check that the glows are doing their thing properly, though an engine in goood nick should fire without them with a bit of cranking.

You did readust the valves properly, right?

Alan

yeah re set the valves. getting little puffs of grey white smoke out the exhaust alan

cheers andy

If you're getting puffs out the exhaust then you are getting fuel in the right places. Sounds to me like crankking speed and/or glow plugs not working.

Charge the battery and/or jump it off something with a BIG battery and then see what happens.

going to charge the battaery up. i fitted full new set and heater plugs so think ill try the battery of the car

When my old 19j wouldn't start after replacing the injectors my local garage suggested a squirt of cold start just to purge any air blocks. Worked for me
