Hi
I have completed a 200tdi conversion into a 90, started to bleed the fuel system etc and the engine seems to be running rough and putting out a lot of white smoke which smells like unburnt fuel.

Any thoughts?

Errr changed the timing belt and set the timing and turned it over twice and it lined up.

dial test indicator used to time some injection pumps ,presumably you used 2 pins and cam marks ,white smoke if stinks and hangs about is raw unburnt fuel ,can be bad timing ,inlet valve not opening ,no compression ,fauly injector etc

Thanks jamesmartin

The engine was running like a Swiss watch before removal from the rangerover! I only hope it is not the timing,

What is the best way to go about checking/ setting the fuel pump timing without taking the timing case off?

I think this is where it has went wrong! I used the TD flywheel housing, which dosent have a slot at the bottom for the pin? What is ur suggestion to overcome this problem. Cheers

take front cover off and align the dot on crank and housing , id have left original on ,some flywheels have both slots it would be worth checking this for future if timings okay
