GTD block, AAZ pump and injectors, TDI 10mm head all timed at 1.1mm
Hung a small motorbike expansion tank from the roof filled with diesel, and a line down to the pump inlet, open the inline tap and the pump swallows the tank contents (600ml)
Another top up and time to crank,
crank
crank
crank
crank
flat battery.
roll up the other car and attach the BIG jump leads.
crank
crank
crank
crank
nothing, fuel doesn't appear to be dropping in the tank,
then I spot a dribble of diesel on no2 injector union and tighten it
crank, crank
number 3 joins in and number 1 and they get tightened.
crank, crank and now there is a spurt of what I presume is diesel coming up from low down on the pump, A quick look reveals that it's engine oil squirting from a pipe on the filter top that has not been tightened properly
crank crank and number four starts to spurt
ign off, ign on ....full glow
crank...wump, wump, clack, wump, wump, wump, clack, clack,wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump, wump,
I repeat the process a few times and every time the number of clacks increases
then it fires, runs and dies - no fuel left in the header tank.
I top the tank and try again..... a few cranks and it fires and idles, hunts around a bit then settles - I try to rev it but it won't
I'm now conscious of two things.... I still have a rad pipe to fit and fill engine with coolant so I can't run it for long, and that I can no longer see the back of the garage
I make my escape and go get a camera
Ok it'll need some tweaking, but for now I'm happy it runs.
