200 tdi timing problems

<< < (4/4)

muck_truck:
The woodruff key should be at 12 o'clock to set TDC, id go off that.

The TDC mark on the bottom pulley should not be at 12 o'clock to set TDC.  The mark on the pulley lines up with a mark on the timing case cover so you can see TDC when everything is back together.  The mark lines up at about 11 o'clock if i remember rightly.

Yep my flywheel is off my old td engine, well just tried it using the tdc mark on the bottom pulley and it almost started and smoked. When i tried it using the woodruff key it didn't work. There is pure biodiesel in my tank and has been sat there for a couple of months now could that affect the starting, i'm thinking of draining it all out and putting some diesel in.

jimthelandyman:
I know what is up now. When i got my new injector pump it was not locked when it has been removed and therefor it is not set up for injector 1 to fire when i put the timing pin through the pulley. Does anyone know how to set up an injector pump so that it can be locked in the correct position and then i can lock it with the bolt on the side.

Les Henson:
When the pin is inserted through the inj pump sprocket it passes into the casing of the pump. With the pin in, the pump is locked in the timing position and the three outer 10mm head bolts are slackened to remove any slack in the belt between the cam and inj pump. Once the belt is tensioned correctly, the three bolts are tightened. With the woodruff key on the crank at 12 o-clock, the cam sprocket on it's mark, and the pin in the injector pump - the timing should then be factory set.
