The verdict ......
I put it all back together and turned it over.
It will not fire up ... bummer ... I think it is a write off.![[Image: sad.png]](http://306oc.co.uk/forum/images/icons/sad.png)
I had a full charge in the battery. The engine turned fairly briskly, but did not seem to turn over fast enough when under compression. At one point , I think I heard a 'rubbing' noise as it was turning over. At this time I am thinking a con rod is bent and the engine is tight. I'm guessing a tight engine will not turn over fast enough for the ecu to allow the engine to go to the combustion phase ? I can't think what else could be preventing combustion?
One last question, when I had the glow plugs out and turned the engine over to expel the water, I removed the connectors on top of the injectors to prevent any firing. Did I do right there?
Thanks guys.
