Poor starting, reving, white smoke, stalling

Hey,

Could do with some help.

I just had my engine out while doing alot of work to my 110 with a discovery 200tdi fitted.

The engine had a new head gasket and timing belt while it was out

On the first start today it had the following problems...

Poor starting

Poor revving, hesitant and died down even with pedal depressed

Very lumpy, barely hold a idle without stalling

White smoke

Looking for ideas on where to start first, air lock? Timing was done with the LR tools and a angle gauge and rotated to confirm true at time of fitting.

Cheers

Adam

Did you check valve clearances after changing the head?

Mark.

I did re-do the tappets

injector pump and timing are out.

re check the cam belt instal.

Think that's pretty much a certainty?

Cheers

Adam
