I have some specific questions with regards to the timing if you don't mind.
The following photos are with the flywheel pinned and pulley at TDC.
1. How far should the pin go into the injection pump? See photos.
2. Other pictures I have seen the pin should be at the top left of timing case hole, ours pin goes lower right of the hole. Is this correct?
3. I am under the impression the 2 little holes should be central to the slotted holes in the timing plate.
Thanks for the help, sorry about what may be stupid questions.

Pretty sure that is the wrong hole, I think it is at the top ie 12 oclock, it is a round hole in the alloy casing of the injection pump.

I am not sure if I have any pics, but will take a look.

Random pic borrowed from the web, ignore the arrow.

Thank you lynall. That is pretty much what I thought.
So, the injection pump timing/pulley seems to be 180° out of position compared to the alignment of the crank pulley and flywheel, is that possible somehow?
I put some photos in my previous post ^

Rotate inj pump until proper timing hole lines up, then check the crank flywheel slot is visible, if no go rotate crank 360 and try again, obviously using the crank bolt to rotate engine and not the inj pump nut, sorry if teaching you to suck eggs!

I have never done it, but I have been told it is possible to time an engine 180 degrees out and it can run, not very well but it can run.

Ok, will give it a go tomorrow if its not raining, many thanks.
