2018 Ford transit 350 2.0 eco blue diesel not starting

[Rio]

I bought this Ford transit van of co part as a non runner upon inspection I found out the wet belt was missing a good 10+ teeth or so I thought get the timing belt kit put it on a hope the the lifters and the rockers to be fine (if I was lucky enough). Now when putting some starter fluid to the intake the engine seems to try to start but also backfires form the intake and creates loads of some coming form the intake, the oil cap, and the pipe on the turbo to.What do you guys reckon need to open up the engine to do rockers a lifters? And if yes is it possible to do it wile the engine is in the van or do I have to take it out?

The 2.0 "wet belt" engine is well known for being junk, far too many of them have thrown belts or destroyed engines from parts of the belt blocking oilways etc, Ford couldn't keep up with the warranty claims.....I would have run away.....run fast, run far.

The wet belt engine has camshafts that have pressed on cam lobes , when the engine destroys the belt, the pistons hit the valves and knock the cam lobes from their fixed positions on the shafts. this is not fixable

Sorry, if this has happened ( I'm guessing it has - back fires through the inlet says to me it has ) if so - the only cure for it is a whole new CAM CARRIER COMPLETE WITH CAMSHAFTS

on ebay they start at £619 - don't know who makes them ...don't think anyone's going to knock off anything so complicated...so probably come from the original factory but don't have ford embossed on them.

A compression test must be carried out .......people who fit the carriers without removing the head to check for other damage are usually taking a chance, that sometimes works out in their favour. its a lottery.

all the best.mark

The Mk6 & 7 diesels are the same, pressed on cam lobes.
