Good evening all,
I know this topic has been covered in the past but I cannot find a exact match to my problem and need some expert advise here.
I replaced the head gasket due to an idiot who rebuild the complete engine and used the wrong head gasket. With this I had to replace 1 piston. Also checked the head and lapped all the valves and did the clearance to be in spec. After putting it all together the problem is as follows
The engine turns over. Checked the fuel lines and put a clear pipe after the filter going tot en pomp to make sure there is no air in system. Correct. Next check fuel to injector. It's there. Car gets to a point where it almost starts and blows smoke out the exhaust. O yes I also put 4 new glowplugs. So the fuel is getting to the piston and it is igniting, but does not want to start. O have checked all the plugs and sensors and all is ok.
This afternoon is notices some smoke coming out one of the injector holes in tape cover. I am at the end of my patience,
What else can I check do to get the bakkie running.
