I have been working on this for weeks and so far: my cylinder head had a cracked no1 injector housing so I got it repaired. Have now reassembled it but have done some other stuff at the same time including; fitting new fuel pressure regulator and removing and blanking off the EGR valve (genuine seals and washers fitted to injectors) and replaced the injector harness.
It started with difficulty, run for a minute or so then stops. I rechecked the timing - the coloured links on the timing chain align with the mark on sprockets. Timing pin fits in top and also in the bottom. Engine was kicking when it started but is running smoothly now - for at least a minute before it cuts out.
TODAY: I purged it again for an hour..it started well, runs nicely but cuts off after a minute or so. Whilst removing the injector seals and washers yet again - this time I noticed that no1 injector housing was full of diesel and lots of air bubbles come up through the fuel. My thinking was that the unused fuel was not returning back to the pressure regulator switch.
I blew through the fuel return pipe..I thought I cleared it...leastways it seemed as if it was more clear, bled it again. Started up - but oh no, that wasn't the problem either. It starts, it runs fairly nicely and then it stops after about a minute.
When the cylinder head was cracked it run perfectly (although of course I was losing fuel into sump)...
Am running out of ideas and patience now - any suggestions welcome.
