When you cranked without starting, was that just no glow plugs? Mines been having problems starting after putting a new head on it, i know my glowplugs where trash, but yea now it wont start at all🤣.. even with replacing the 2 rightmost glowplugs... I'm hoping its not a timing issue
Hmm. That was no fuel pump solenoid. If you're getting white smoke but no start then it's glow plugs/ timing / compression. If you aren't getting any smoke while cranking then you probably need to bleed your fuel lines or check that the fuel solenoid is coming on 👍. Most of the time I used to have starting problems after taking things apart were from not bleeding the fuel lines or half bleeding them.
@OliverFetter thanks! I'll check timing later, probably just restart timing as I know I messed up cause I torqued the cam pulley before the belt was on and the tensioner was torqued. I've got fuel and white smoke, and my glowplugs are wired to a manual switch. Seems to have compression but I haven't tested it.
@OliverFetter update.. I was 2 teeth out on my cam timing. Followed your timing video and now it runs! Starts rough because I need to replace 2 glow plugs.. but it runs!! Thank you. I haven't driven this car in 10 months and I've missed it lots.
@@chrisladouceur4093 it had no problems cranking over by hand, didn't make any bad noises, and it ran for 2 weeks like that🤷♂️. Just didn't start easy. It could have even been one tooth, but it was out.
For now ($ + time), sticking with the 020 but I'm going to pair it with a stage 3 clutch, new throw out & seals & bushing or two 💁 in fairness I generally avoid clutch dropping it, so I don't expect it to explode right away 😅
@OliverFetter maybe upgrade to a newer transmission with cables. More reliable, supports bigger clutch, its more convenient to set the shifter 👍 The biggest challenge will be the front engine mount if you don't wanna spend money on conversion kits and unreliable ebay sellers
Can’t wait for the dyno vid!

Is 2 teeth out not in interference territory?

Yalla where is the dyno video Fetter😂
😆 Sunday
Would you concider selling this to me?😮
🤔🤔 likely not
Any plans on transmission and clutch upgrade for the alh?
