I have turn the crankshaft sprocket Several rotations. It roatates fairly easy at first then gradually builds up resistance to the point I have to pull a bit hard on the long handled socket in then it becomes easy again. I assume this is the cam building up pressure via compression of the pistons. I...

No gasket work during my ownership, I’m unsure of previous owner. I have not bottle fed yet, I need to get an inline filter first. If I can not borrow my buddy compression test kit I wil PM you about yours. Thank you for that offer. I have a feeling the compression may be low. When the car was runni...

Valve Clearances. I know next to nothing about them.
I will see what I can absorb from the Bentley manual and this forum.

Posted video here with my commentary towards the later half. Francis as I call her started up after 5 seconds. Overnight block plugged in. Air between injectors. No air in inlet IP or output IP line. There is air at the double barbed OUT bolt line between injector and barb. It seems to be just hangi...

Loose time belt? A fellow VW rabbit owner/ enthusiast payed a visit and thought my timing belt was to loose and might be causing the problems. It definitely has expanded from since I put it in. Not sure if it’s to the point that it could effect things. What’s your guys go to method to tension belt w...

Auto store carry the grommet that goes the the fire wall. Problem solved But there is still NO Power. Some refresher history. New IP, 4 new injectors new glow plugs. Everything on TDC. Today she started after about 15 seconds and Idles great after a minute of reving. Still white and grey smoke when ...

After replacing all 4 injectors and heat shields and the right most glow plug she fired up fairly easily and idles well after warm up. It smokes Much less but still has to much white and gray smoke. I will trying advancing the timing soon. Also I think my lack of power problem has been that my accel...

No luck getting her running today. Fill up IP with ATF She did start for about ten rough seconds then died. Turns over and acts like it’s getting ready to fire up but nothing. Smoke out of the tail pipe is grey and white. Primed lines by cracking injector nut one at a time while cranking. I have Vin...

Finally warmed up enough here in western NC to get some car work done. I got the newly rebuilt injector pump installed. Attached are TDC photos. Tmrw I will fill the pump with ATF and prime the lines and hope she turns over fires up and runs great. Pump came with new OUT bolt which was nice. It didn...

Thanks for the reply. The timing belt is new and I rotated it server times after install. There is a diamond shaped notch on the fly wheel and a fixed notch that lines up top dead center. The cam locking tool is best I can tell parallel. No room for gauges. I am sending this pump back yet again for ...

It didn’t look like it was coming out of a nut. it seemed like it’s coming from the main body bit I will loosen and retighten them to see And will investigate more when I get back home this week.

I believe it leaking from this o ring but I’m not completely sure.
Anyone have any other links on how to replace this o-ring

Yes 1mm movement from the pencil mark I put at the top of the IP flang.

Ok guys, I am getting beat up here I have another problem. I was hillbilly tuning to advance the pump and the pump started leaking. 1 mm adjustments. It appears to be leaking from from the bottom where the dark grey injector pump output 4 port case (that connects the hardlines to the injectors)meets...

I will try a regular banjo bolt and a sucking on the clear line when I get home next week.

If the vacuum gauge is install between the filter and the pump. Where should I install the fuel pump? Closer to the tank?

Thanks in advance
