Ok, revival of this.
Mark came round today, joined me mid sessions to change a fuel pump to see whether the 11mm was causing the timing to constantly slip out.
So the procedure went as follows;
locked the fly
cambelt tension off
cambelt off pulleys (cam and fuel pump)
fuel pump removed
new fuel pump on
locked cam
locked fuel pump
cambelt back on
tension on
remove locking key
manually crank a few times
recheck timing - all fine
Great, so we start her up, after a while of chugging away she lives. Fine.
LOT of white smoke, so we retard fully, still lots of white smoke, hmm maybe we're doing it the wrong way, so fully advance, still lots of white smoke...
Hmm, lets check the timing, 180 out AGAIN!!
PLEASE someone tell me what on earth is going on? this is the third time the timing has come out, twice on the 11mm, and this time, on the 9mm. Myself and mark, completely stumped.
Also, the belt has a lot of "slap/up and down movement" when the engines running, i've got a video. whether this has anything to do with it at all, im not sure.
