White Smoke - New Engine?
#1
Come on then, do I need a new engine.

Thick white smoke on startup, have changed:

- turbo from K14 to TD04
- pump from Lucas to 11mm rebuilt Bosch, injectors & lines
- glowplugs for brand new duraterms
- fuel filter

Running out of ideas.

Is the engine likely to be on the way out?

It doesn't pull that well considering its on an 11mm and TD04 and in an uber light chassis..

Not that I'm aware of. Did it when it was retarded, still does it now its slightly more advanced.

Don't think any further adjustment will help but for the sake of loosening off three nuts I can certainly try..

It idles like shit and kicks out white smoke.

Once up to temperature slightly (after two-three minutes) it runs fine and the smoke dies down.

I'd say the timing is out on the pump

Anyone fancy sorting it out for me then! Got an engine that needs ripping out of a scrap cherry DT too come to think of it!

It's easy to do mate. Slacken off the 3 13mm nuts on the pump bracket. Grab the pump and push the top of the pump towards the bulkhead or towards you.
It will be noticeable where the engine runs better and where it's happy.

Sorry I was having a blonde moment, I thought you meant the belt was out of time (skipped a tooth).

What he said Smile Bought a very cheap 306 off a mate a while ago that did that on cold start. It flew after I adjusted the pump and the problem went away.

Ide still say that's an injector issue, your timing sounds ok.

It wouldn't start intially so we advanced it and it would start (like it does now) and clear up after being run. But yeah, as suggested by everyone will try tweak it tomorrow after work!

Hmm. I do have a spare XUD motor with a bosch on I could whip the injectors off of but it did it before on Lucas injectors (which have since been changed for bosch's).

How much coolant is it using if it is?
Also if the engine had been sat after being hot for a few hours, if you undo the header tank cap is there loads of pressure still in the system?

Have looked at these vids on a pc, your first video is defo either an injector/pump timing issue. And the second video I reckon its an injector missing. Like alot of other people have said try putting a little more timing on it.

Didn't get around to adjusting timing instead managed to snap a subframe bolt and cross thread another.

Had enough of it gonna break it for parts and get a 306, ideally a ph3 T reg or newer that I can put a XUD in and my private plate.

Meh, wanted to stay in halls for 1st year of uni which meant selling it to make up money I didn't have.

Glad I did though or I'd never of had this beast which led me onto love XUD's! -

Should have kept the HDI Trent IMO, it looked sweet after the blow over and FMIC. The HDI was faultless compared to the XUD...

...should have sold your body instead lmao

That was back in the day when they were still worth a good couple of thousand so could justify spending money on paint/body.

To be fair I think it needed a battery but that was it!

Was on its way to needing a clutch too on Whippys stage 2 IIRC!
