Sorry to drag this thread out but I have just cured a smoking 2.25 Diesel.
I was at my whits end and about to do an engine change so I took extreme measures.
The pump would not adjust as it was advanced as far as it would go ( to compensate for chain stretch ) so I got a rats tail file and made the pump holes longer so it would advance more.
Filed about 3mm out each slot and refitted.
WOW its brand new, What a difference ! No more white smoke on start up, no more slight miss with a puff of smoke, no more huge white clouds when driving. It is honestly clear as a daisy.
What a transformation.
Saved me lots of work and has worked mint.

kinell,used to do tha 20year ago on knackers to sell em on
Did he ? Nice one.
But would you care to comment if this can create any damage or rather is there anything wrong with doing this ?
I understand the cure is rebuild and replace the chain but why is this so bad ? thats if it is.
It saved me fitting the 2.5 leyland that I have on standby.
Feel free to tell me the technical downfalls to doing this .
Regards Steve
Taxi drivers don't need any extra driving tests.... just a bath, some deodorant and a crash diet to lose 10 stone !!
