well nearly! :lol:

van drives ok but have got to get the new epic pump put on as the old one is chucking smoke out

these epic things really do sound like a bag of sh*t .... why did Fraud switch to them in the first place ? ... and what do they use now ?

Can you not try advancing the timing a bit :?:

by **100ps_drw_hicube** » Thu May 04, 2006 6:41 pm

how????

didnt know you could do much with the timing

it's ok going up the revs but wont hold a constant throttle very welll just chucks tons of black smoke out the back it hunts from around 1.5k to 3k as well

Sounds like it's not burning all the diesel!

ye your right mate no4 cyl doesnt die as much when you crack it open

i have swapped all the injectors around and still no differance to no4 cyl which can only mean timing or pump?? cant think of anything else it could be

Get yourself a compression tester mate!

Sorry mate just come back from another thread :roll:

You know the way you lock all the cogs with pins/dowls (or in my case drill bits of the right size) as if your doing the timing belt change :?:

Well double check this first and if all ok you can slacken the pump pulley from the front and adjust it slightly :idea:

I would imagine moving the bolts anticlockwise (while the bolts are slack) will retard the timing and clockwise will advance the timing

But I do have concerns about your no.4 cylinder from what you've just said

And the pump could be ****** from what you said also :roll:

That's not how you adjust the timing that's how you tighten the belt, if you move the pulley back you will have a slack belt!

NO

Don't adjust or move the the pulley :roll:

The bolt holes for the pump are slotted :!:

and when they are slack you can move them (the pump) without moving the pulley

If the pin is in you shouldn't be able to move the pump only the pulley. There is no adjsutment on this at all other than to tension the belt!

Taking the pin out of course.

Well I'm not here to argue with you :roll:

As you are absolutely correct. However it has been mentioned a few times on this forum, that you can adjust the timing and this is the only way I can think it can possibly be done :roll:

And if my memory serves me right, I also remember someone mentioning moving the pulley by a notch also :roll:

But somehow I think this would be too much :!:

by **MrMPuk** » Thu May 04, 2006 7:56 pm

I completly agree with you and as it had been a while since I done a Di cambelt I didn't say anything to all the people that were talking about adjusting the pump like that. But when I did mine the other week and then 100ps_drw_hicubes I had a play and there was no adjustment possible.
