Ok read all the forums currently on 300tdi injector pump timing and head issues. I will list what has been done and tested!
Engine run fine before starting just pressurised via water instantly.
I have replaced head( new bolts,gasket and injector copper washers.)
While doing head also decided to change timing belt to make sure this was new as no service history.
I replaced with the new tensioner and the moded bottom crank pulley to solve belt slip. I did mark off the crank a TDC along with the Cam and locked IP with bolt in hole!
Checked all valve clearance on rocker covers and attempted to start but failed. Checked lift pump this was not priming by hand so replaced with new one. Primed system filter to remove air, then lossened union at injector end. Diesel does spray but not under as much pressure as expected when turning over. Have checked solonoid on IP this is fine.
Engine will fire up using a snif test ( Easy Start) but will not run on diesel.
I have checked IP timming again to ensure its ok and seem almost impossible to get this wrong if all TDC and pump locked off?
Any idea's its driving me nuts! PS have had the head tested to make sure it was not valve seats releasing pressure? so compression is fine also?
