Hi any ideas, I have just fit a new head gasket on my 1.7d isuzu
engine, as it over heated on me, i got the head skimmed and checked
but since putting it all back together it wont start i have made sure
diesel is getting through and that it has got heat at the glow plugs,
i have timed it up and double checked that it is on its marks, i have
gone through everything i can see , but must be missing something, is
it worth towing it? could it just be that it is stubborn.
Cheers Keith.

I was under the impression that the pump and cam are locked by bolts when
timing this engine, rather than any marks (except the crank) and that
checking after turning two turns is also by setting the crank mark and
re-inserting the bolts.

Hi, yes your right there is 2 bolts which lock it off, which i done
and double checked after the 2 turns, so i know i have the timing
right, i'm so puzzled at why this wont start ???????

When you said you'd checked for diesel did you mean at the injectors?

assuming it sounds right (compression wise) then give it a quick spray of
easy start or wd40, if it fires and then stops then you know there is a fuel
problem.
