ian_s Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Done the cam belt today, but I have a horrible feeling that I've got the pump 1 tooth out as its chucking out smoke, which smells like unburnt diesel. Annoyingly I started the engine with the front cover off, and I didn't notice any smoke, but I did notice that I hadn't put the oil cooler back and so it was pumping oil all over the place! Then I refitted the radiator and inter cooler, so maybe there was some oil splashed into the intake pipes and that's causing it to smoke. I didn't run it for long as it was late and I don't want to upset my brothers neighbours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lo-fi Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Had a chap on another forum recently swear blind he'd done the timing correctly with pins etc and couldn't figure out why it was smoking like crazy. Eventually he conceded and checked the timing... One tooth out. Easily done. Ran like a charm after he got it right the second time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_s Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 yep, i think i'm going to have to strip it all back down again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_s Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 spot on, i was one tooth out on the pump and in stripping it down again i wrecked the timing cover gasket, so had to order one in to the local main stealers, and on the way to collect it I had a stone hit my windscreen and crack it. so this was a bloody expensive error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lo-fi Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Glad it's sorted, but boo to the bad luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
