ty for the advice i will have a look just 1 thing im not a fella im a woman lol :D

hi and thank you sooo much but im waiting for a fuel injector pump which wont be here till next week as thats when the bad noise started so think its best to change that while its all stripped down :)

yes timing looked like it all lined up and all i can say is when i was turnin it over by hand it was quite hard (it made me sweat) this is while the rocker cover was off i have no idea what i am doing lol but it didnt stick or jam up :o

well all i can tell u is that that big bolt at the bottom in the shaft tightened right up with no problems we took it right out checked the thread on the bolt and put it back we turned the engine over by hand and heard no noises and it turned over by hand with ease it didnt jam or go stiff :o

could the crankshaft bolt being out by about half inch have caused any damage the keyway is still in place :confused:

right update im covered in grease we have checked timing and crankshaft bold was hanging out by about a inch we have also took rocker off and turned engine by hand and and all under there is moving as it should and no exsessive play we have left it all stripped down for a proper mechanic to put...

me and dad are about to go out there with spanners and socket set maybe a club hammer and see what we can do between us even if we can get the front stripped to check timing anything is a start wish us luck lol i will prob be back on here later asking how to put it all back together :D

if its def him whats broke it then trust me i will be having a go bad idea to cross a woman lets hope i have PMT on that day too lol

not sure but i got 1 now off ebay so fingers crossed that sorts it :) any ideas how i romve this post now ive got 1

lol and no kneecapping is out of the question although has crossed my mind thank you for all the advice i hope to have someone (a proper person) look at it next week but if it is the engine i will have to sell her for scrap i have £200 at the most to try and sort her out :(

:)Sorry not lift pump fuel injector pump is what I need

just spoke to dad and the pump the bloke fitted did NOT have the bit that the pulley bolts onto on the pump dad thinks that the timing on the pump is out badly does this mean i need a new pump :confused:
