I’m in the process of checking/adjusting the injection pump timing. I’ve got the DTI tool etc.
I have asked this question before about what the value of the timing should be as there a few options in the manual, but I’m still not clear what the value is. So a few thing to bear in mind - this 2.0L TD engine is in an old Land Rover so no idea what it used to be in. Also there is no engine number to be found. I’ve recently done head gasket timing belt and many other things and I noted the date stamp on few parts seemed to be mid 1991. From this info can you tell what the correct timing value should be?
I thought that when I checked it as it is now I would see that it was close to one of the manual values, however the current reading is 2.8mm!!!! The value I was expecting was 1 or 1.2mm. Would the engine run if it was that far out? A Montego driver once told me if this timing was slightly out the engine would run like a pig.
Also worth saying the injection pump has not been touched in the recent work.
Cheers
