series smoking
ross501:
the pump timing gear has a big locator slot did not think it could be 1 tooth out the smoke is a grey colour had all new pistons and a new head and the smoke is the same
Miniman:
When new pistons I presume it was honed out and the new rings fitted.
Another thing you dont think someone may have spiced ya tank for any reason. Its just a possibility

that is definatly wrong. the pump should be nearly in the middle. either the pump is faulty and someone has tryed to hide the fact with a quick fix, or as Al said the timing gear needs looking at. i think youll have to take the pump off and have it checked. we use LSUK for our deisel service, but there are loads of diesel workshops around. make sure you tell them the problems you have with it when you take it in, it gives the techs a clue on what to look for.
Canada Al:
yes there is a keyway on the shaft so you can't get it in wrong , but on the other end of the shaft is a gear with about 12 teeth i think ( its been a while ) it is possible to get this in the wrong place as I have done it :oops:
ross501:
is that the timinig chain end how do i know if it is in the right place
