Hi
After replacing the rocker shaft and number 1 and 2 cam caps, I've been trying to restart the engine after it sat for a couple years.
I've got everything together....what a job that is!
I've made sure that all of the marks are correctly aligned, cam sprocket, IP sprocket, crankshaft sprocket, and the balance shafts with their belt line up as well.
The mark on the crankshaft pulley is in the middle of the range of marks on the lower timing cover. Not sure if this is significant?
This is what I've done.
1. I've installed new fuel filter and bled the filter - also bled the main line to the IP from the hand pump.
2. I bled each fuel line to the injector by having someone turn over the engine until the fuel sprayed out of the appropriate line then tightened them.
3. All of the injectors are new and have their new washers
4. The glow plugs are in good shape.
After lots of turning over the engine with the peddle pressed to the floor, the engine would fire and skip, fire, skip and finally it ran very roughly. As long as I held the peddle way down it would continue running on a couple cylinders at best, if that.
Had a fuel leak at one injector leak rail but after I tightened the nut, it stopped leaking.
Could this be caused by a poorly fitting leak rail? The old one got a little bent and was difficult to straighten out to seat against the special washers, which are new as well.
Lots of black soot out of the exhaust.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure where to turn next. Something I missed?
Thanks, Tim
