Big Mat Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 nah mines a series 3 109, 2.25 derv, engine is a little broken at the moment, rebuilt half of it but it still smokes way too much. Might be getting a 200tdi 90 soon tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mat Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 what happened Big Mat did you rebuild the wrong half. joking aside, any ideas why it is still smoking, did you rebore and new pistons, or do a head job Just did top end, pistols seemed to be alrite, recon injectors and recon pump, seems to be something to do with timing, done timing on chain then moved up to pump timing but just cannot get it right. Runs clear at tickover but lots of grey when under load. Its not burning oil or using water. Might have to tear it all apart and start again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
