See, I understand how to time the engine and change timing belts etc, but how do I verify time? I couldn't say much about the smell because everything smells like diesel from bleeding the air
Same as when you built it. Just back up a step or 2, get the crank aligned first, (pin in the back of block, going through flex plate) and see if the cams are aligned (under the screw- in plugs) don't freak yet if cams are not aligned on first attempt. If not, roll the engine (crankshaft)over ONE time, and see if cams are aligned.
If timing has jumped, one or both cams will be off.
Videos are tough to diagnose. But what I've seen is the first video (with the narrow view) it seems fairly smooth, but the other 2 vids seem pretty rough.
Is that diesel fuel jumping around by the injectors? From bleeding?
Rough idle, stalling, can be lots of air in the system, jumped timing... I
When you say LOTS of white smoke, was that just the initial start up after assembly? or all the time?
If all the time, I'd say you are getting plenty of fuel, and it sounds more like timing is off.
Just fmi, when a rocker jumps off during assembly, is it possible to complete the installation of the cover, or is the slipped rocker going to prevent the cover from going on down? anyone?
'smoke vs. no smoke'.... If you have white vapor during cranking, it means diesel is in fact being injected. It just hasn't been lit.
If you are seeing it after it starts, it means it's either really cold and will clear up fast as heat builds... or the valve train is 'off' and not allowing cylinder pressure to build enough to make heat, causing poor burn. or you have a bad injector/ or 2 injector harness swapped.
Double check your injector harness for proper order!!
