fitted a new head today on my frst and it wont start
it turns over and there is a spark and fuel but it seams to be poping and when it pops it puff's out smoke..
any help or advise would be appracated..thanks

 

Sounds like the timing is wrong, double check it and always turn over by hand first!!!

 

where is the ffing coming from? m8

 

smoke is coming from ehhaust..white and smoke from engine(only little amount) would it make that much drifference if it was slightly out?

 

yea sounds 2 me like the timing is out even if it is only out by 1 tooth can still make a big difference

 

id take the timing belt back of and make sure the timing marks on the belt are in the right place lined up with tdc marks on crank and head pullys. as long as they are where they should be you cant go wrong.

 

lead s wrong way round??????

 

leads round right way, timing was slightly out but now spot on majour school boy error anyway still no luck

 

just an idea mate prime up fuel pump then disconect it by lifting back seat and pull plug off then crank it over let it clear of it starts do same agin let prime then take off again.

ps did you take of any sensors eg engine coolant sensor etc make sure all earths are on properly

thanks tommy,ill give that a try tomorrow..fcuking pissed off now so going to have a few beers.. but any onther iders...please keep them coming thanks george

 

by how far was the cam timing out?

if it was out by a lot you could have bent valves mate....

get a compression tester on it.

 

only a tiny bit(timing)..but ive brought a compresion test kit.. so ill see how that goes

 

this may sound silly but i recently changed the wiring loom in my friends series 2 turbo and the same symptoms happenend plenty spark fuel etc but would not kick up we decided to service it changed spark plugs and it kicked up first time good luck
