Will T Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hi guys Right 2 weeks ago the cam belt snapped on my 2000 freelander 1.8 petrol So with help from an excellent post on this site I've managed to strip and rebuild engine thanks to les hensen hat off to u mate. Now instead of changing the valves in my engine I've a mg zs with same engine so I took the valve part off that and put it on my block rebuilt engine and timed to les's instruction now the engine turns over lovely but she just won't start she sounds like she wants too but just doesn't grr anyone any ideas please.... Please note Checked spark plugs there fine And all new gaskets fitted Thanks in advance Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydiesel Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Are you sure you have the timing correctly set? It is possible (and easily done) to get the the cams timed incorrectly so that the inlet and exhaust valves open at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbartle9 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Very easy to have it 180deg out (been there, done that!) double check the timing. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
