Yes i know we get f*ck loads of these threads and i have read the majority of them which made me think i done this right but i clearly suck and done it wrong somehow.
Right heres the symptoms, running lumpy, sounds like its misfiring, when i rev it the revs hang a bit before dropping down, only a couple hundred rpm for maybe 10seconds sometimes before it returns to a flat steady idle, when the idle is hanging the engine shakes and its lumpy, theres also white smoke, steam coming out the exhaust even when its right up to temp, considering i just done the headgasket it shouldnt be steam. If it is then its for sale because it can f*ck off if im doing that again.
So what i done,
Locked the flywheel off, simple, nothing to go wrong there.
Locked the cam pulley off, again not much that can really go wrong there.
Right now the pump, why does it feel like its sprung? Like it has to be moved with a spanner and held for me to get the screws into the holes? Do i need to turn the pulley a few times to get it into a specific position or something? Anyway i tweaked it with a spanner and put both timing pins in.
I then pulled the belt tight from the idler around the pump onto the cam and held it on the back of the cam whilst i released the tensioner, seen so many of these timing threads i thought i would get this bit right but i must have got something wrong
Hope someone can help, right at the end of my tether now Thanks dudes
