I am working on a 656 diesel that someone else tore apart.
The engine was just rebuilt with new pistons ,rings, rebuilt cylinder head with new valves. Injection pump was sent out and rebuilt and new injectors with new glow plugs. I verified that the glow plugs are all working but this will only start on ether and it dose not matter what the temperature is. After starting it for the first time you don't need ether for the rest of the day it starts every time. I have the timing set at 1 degree before tdc. It runs fine after i get it started.
Also i have seen pictures of other 282d engines and some of the injectors are installed with the glow plugs on top and others with the glow plugs on the bottom? Which is correct? Mine are on top. Could this be why it dose not start?
