I have re assembled my engine and run it , but it is blowing heaps of smoke and rattling like the proverbial!!
The timing gears for the injection pump dont have the usual dots to enable correct alignment of these, so cant figure out if i have correct timing of pump.
One gear(the driven one-on pump) has a "J" and "ZZ"
The drive gear has one dot , and then two dots in another spot.
Can anyone enlighten me as to which marks are the correct ones please?
Have tried several combinations of these marks but no success.
Any advice would be appreciated. cheers, Paul
