Ex Member Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Not one tooth out on the cam timing. Certainly possible. Let's just start with a quick check on the injection timing..... Work from easy to hard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I’m interrupting just to say that this is a really interesting thread. It will be great to get to the cause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmayco68 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Wright will do the 3000rpm in 4th test on the way home and report back . Will order one of those cheap hand held tachometer of Ebay later so I can check that. Do you think t would be better for me to remove the boost ring and set the pump back to the settings it had originally ? I think it would be wise too.

Ex Member Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Check the timing with the drill bit / pin method first. If that is good, them try removing the boost ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmayco68 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) It certainly will Peaklander . So at 3000rpm in 4th she is going 50 mph checked that with gps as well. Had a look at my receipt from Ashcrofts I didn’t have the higher 5th gear fitting in the box . Also transfer box fitted is a 22D so it says on the case and as far as axles go I haven’t changed them it’s a Salisbury on the rear and a rover on front . What’s best tachometer wise laser or contact ? Edited January 17, 2018 by ianmayco68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miggit Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Optical / laser.... as the contact type requires you to hold it against the shaft, not the sort of thing you want to do on a Landie! The optical / Laser type you just stick a reflective strip on the crank pulley and point the light at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianmayco68 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Tried that one but they’ve started listing them from England, there were some from Manchester delivery next month and delivery in 2 wks £99 , cunning little buggers .

miggit Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Are but some of them send via air mail which is within a week, so I don't mind....It's when them send them by Economy Rickshaw Post that they can take weeks and weeks. The bloody annoying thing is looking at the 1 week "English" sellers prices and Rickshaw post prices there is only a couple of quid in it..... so why can they offer fast delivery?

ianmayco68 Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hi all , sorry I haven’t come back about the fip timing but haven’t had chance to do it yet with family things and working these horrible shifts . Plan is to do it tomorrow afternoon when I come back from work, so question is if the fip timing is ok is the next step to check the timing ? If so I can crack on and strip it down while I’m in there . cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmayco68 Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hi all , reset pump timing , now got grey smoke coming out of exhaust , its running lumpy and she pops when you accelerate also idle seems really low . Does this mean the main timing is out ? cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 The pump timing. I mean, your cam timing could be off as well, but you just changed your pump timing. Are you sure you are doing the pump timing correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmayco68 Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 I’ve got a timing kit , got the pin in the fly wheel housing drain plug hole , turned till it engaged the fly wheel then the timing pin in the slot on the pump , loosened the 3 bolts turned the big nut till the pin went in then tightened the 3 bolts back up . Read tonight you should turn the big nut clockwise , is that wright ? Perhaps it might be better to take the timing cover off and check it all. I ordered a new timing belt kit which arrived today so I can fit that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I would second pump is retarded. If you are super sure you timed it correctly, the only other possibility would be a loose pulley. But as it was ok before, it doesn't seem that likely. I would suggest first thing recheck pump timing, it only takes a few minutes. But otherwise you need to look in timing case.
