hi guys and gals
recently fitted a new engine into my discovery 300tdi.
whilst the engine was on the stand it had new:
headgasket
cylinder head
lift pump
cambelt (full kit)
assorted gaskets
heavy duty clutch and arm
so engine fitted and fast forward 2 days to now, originally it started and sounded like a tractor, my cock up fuel pump just needed timing.
today i jumped in it to move it (first maiden voyage) on initial start up the idle was very low and it refused to rev up, bit of pedal pumping and it started to rev up about 10 seconds after start up, proceeded to run fine.
on its first run it felt gutless in comparison to what it was before, and when trying to pull away it involves accelerator to the floor to get any power to even pull away.
I fitted a see through pipe from the return on the injectors which appears to be full of air, ive bled the injector side but done seem to be able to shift the air out of the return pipe. how do i do this?
also would there be anything else to consider as to the low power im getting from the thing at the moment.
in the last 2 months its had new injectors fitted, silicone boost hoses for i.c setup and obviously the parts listed above whilst i rebuilt the engine.
help needed desperatly before i strip it for the good bits and push it into a local field and burn it :flame:
