So you think you got the cam timing belt set up correctly but not the injector pump belt on the other end of the head/cam! The pump pulleys don't always have marks to line up (on cover or block/head etc) as such and rely on you using belts with marks/lines that line up with marks on the pulleys themselves. If you have no marks (other that the ones on the pulleys) You can make your own twink marks on the belt; I think they should be 23 or 36 teeth apart (but think might be wrong so check) Put it on TDC and line the marks up moving the pump to suit. If you buy a genuine or Gates belt it will have marks on it. Best of luck.

Ok check your pump timing as above, then if ok crack each injector nut off with an assistant cranking the engine. Once diesel is pissing out, do it up and move onto the next injector, once you have bled all the air it will start. oh and I'll say it first use flashlube or wyns edit soonest :-)

I'm sure you have, now try my technique after you have checked the pump timing.
