Im having a bit of problem with my timing after trying to test out an unknown condition bosch pump.
I locked everything in position then took the belt off, swapped over the pumps tightened the belt back up and bled the system. Started the car and it sounds awful.
Here's a video.
My first thought is timing is completely out so i lined up the fly and sure enough the camshaft was well out so set about lining it all up again.
So i do what i should have done before and crank it over by hand and it goes out of line again, im using the flywheel to locate itself beofre the cam pulley, but i decide to spin it more and from what i gather there must be two locating holes in the flywheel.
Im pretty sure what i have just written is confusing and jumbled up but does anyone have a clue what ive done wrong?
Im replacing the engine anyway with another and don't really want to make same mistake.
