I have a 2.5L NA J19 diesel in a lightweight I imported from England, RHD but the motor is not original obviously, it is from a defender.
I replaced the pushrods, timing belt, injection pump (don't ask) and one rocker arm and it runs but it blows a LOT of white smoke. I think i have the timing on but it is hard to tell if the injector pump is really lined up. I made a nut with 3/16" drill to check it but I didn't do a perfect job drilling the nut and I usually have to take the bolt out and push the drill in to see if it is close.
Anyway, I am wondering if anyone has any tips to make it easier? I am planning, running it for awhile and checking the valve clearance, then taking it down to the timing belt and check that it is all good and try it in a couple of different places. See if moving the pump a little one way or the other helps. Any tips on doing that, I would like to do it without having to disconnect all the injector lines. I was thinking of grabbing it with a pair of giant channel logs, using robber sheets to keep from marking it up.
I also noticed the timing between the main crank and the valves might be off by ten or fifteen percent of a notch, but I have to look with a mirror, so I may not be looking right on.
It is a bit loud like a clapping sound, It was always loud but its a little different from before I replaced the rocker arm and push rods.
Any help would be welcome. It is only supposed to rain a little tomorrow, so I might stay somewhat dry.
Peace,
James
