Basically , car started burning oil and producing blue smoke so stripped her down for a full rebuild. Renewed all the gaskets etc/rings, honed it and what not. Put it back together , refitted it this weekend aaaaand won't run. Cranks but that's it, please read my tale and help me before I cry
So the engines in, wired / plumbed etc but it won't run, This is what happened ...
Fitted engine , tried to sart it and it cranks no problem but wouldn't run.
After numerous checks and petrol cans it started but wouldn't idle ...
After a few more attempts I got her started and could rev it (only to 1500-2k so no high rev chaos) and hold it there,but if I let the revs drop below 1200 it would stall.
After this it wouldn't idle / start ,just cranking.
After LOTS of head scratching and checking it had a spark / fuel (it had both at this point) we checked cam timing and that was fine, last resort was the flywheel not being timed correctly so pulled box it off and it wasn't on the timing marks.
Removed / refitted it and now I have a engine that cranks fine but no spark and no fuel, no error codes but I can't get a live feed from my local garage. Any thoughts ?
