timing out smokey

[pugtk]

Hi all im just after replacing all gaskets on my xud engine

However its very smoky on idle (white smoke) and wont rev cleanly(rattles somewhat)

cam, pump and flywheel bolts all lined up


ive used the bosch pump bracket with a bosch pump.

all items were removed from a running engine which I drove.

If the timing of the pump were out on the pump bracket (rotating it on its braket to advance/retard timing)

Would it cause the same issues?

Sounds like it to me, slacken the nuts and rotate it towards the back of the car, if that doesnt help the pump maybe be 180° out

The pulley went back on the woodruff key

I didnt take the pump part yet

How could it be out by 180?

You dont want to advance it anymore!!!

Sounds too advanced to me.

Slacken the 4 13mm nuts holding the pump and bring the pump toward the FRONT of the car till white smoke goes!

Will play with this in the morning.
