Engine clatter

[BUSHWHACKER]

When I bought my first 2.4 breaker it had a new head fitted but ran rough and clattered badly . Injector timing 180 degrees out !! Never known a diesel run with timing that far out .

They usually wouldn't even start, ask Chillitt!

hi rick,do you mean pump timing 180 out?just to clarify before another numpty does.i can understand that running slightly rough,but to mix up two injector pipes and fit them on different nozzles how the hell do you do that without bending the shit out of them,which is something you should never do by the way.and if they were still connnected to the pump at the other end that would put the engine timing out conciderably,hence it propably wouldnt even start.would be like putting plug lead number 2 on number 3 and number 3 on number 2,and leaving them in the same position on the dizzy cap.it aint gonna work.just thought i would explain how i come to that conclusion thats all.
