With the problems with this engine would it not be quicker and cheaper to drop another working low mileage lump in then you could rebuild the old lump at leisure, as if Data is right and you do all the timing stuff and its bent a valve its going to need a lot more work.

wish I could do this, For the amount of taxes to import things like cars/engines esp old ones, fixing it remains the best option. But also am building this at leisure since I do have Defender 110 200tdi and I did buy it very cheap, now I know why lol

OK I could not see where you are based.

Hello once again, after changing the timing chains and changing FIP, I still can't get the car to start. I have managed to get nanocom and here are all the pics from EDC, if I can get the insight on them.

Battery is flat. Not sure how you got that modulation figure without the engine running but it looks wrong, it should be 50% at idle with the engine temperature at 95C. Cold engine I would expect a figure of 15/20% so the FIP timing could be way out. Have you checked for loss of sync between the EDC and the BECM? Read the immobiliser code from the EDC and write it into the BECM.

I have checked for EMS code and it's the same on BECM, I will have to check FIP timing again

There's a hole in the flywheel just before the TDC one but about 20% out. Then of course you could be 180° out?

Timing using the dial guage will of course matter but it normally isn't that sensitive. If you play with the pump top that's sensitive as hell.

Timing is way way out. Doubt that would start. Could look up pump top and static timing in RAVE perhaps you will realise what you did. Final adjustment of FIP must be towards engine.
