Before the IP was installed the engine was out, torn down to the block but I left the oil pump, crankshaft, rods and pistons in it.

I changed the injection pump because my old one wasn't putting fuel out of the number 4 DV, I had improperly stored my IP, and I could not get the engine started. Well, that and dawtwo made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

If you can get the first delivery valve putting out you can drip time for number one and check that the cam lobes are generally pointing upward at the same position.

Why did you change the injection pump? One tooth off on the cam the engine will not have valves hitting pistons at idle anyways. It takes two teeth off I believe to get true interference. . Also I do not think the engine would run that bad with the cam one tooth off.

Anyone want to trade an old Volvo for an '87 300sdl?
