Hi All,
I have just finished my DIESEL engine rebuild and got it all back together again. .Luckily, it fired up straight away. However I have got a small amount of white smoke and knocking, indicating a diesel fault somewhere. I have had the injectors all serviced, so now looking back at the pump, which however safely was secured has no doubt moved. My question is.. as I have replaced all the chains, sprockets, bearings and new head, can I class this now as a NEW engine as mentioned in RAVE (less than 20k) when setting up the timings on the pump. I am convinced it will be out of timing slightly now that all this done so just need to set this and the cam sprocket tool gap as well (or not!?)
