Ok, so finally after two months of teaching myself how to rebuild this
rabbit, I have everything back together.
Cranked and cranked until the battery died. I guess now comes the hard
part. Getting it to start (and troubleshooting the problem).
I had the head rebuild, and replaced the head gasket and all coolant
hoses. Thats about it.
A couple of things I noticed were fuel leaking from the pump adjustment
screw (where you hook up a dial indicator) and it seems there is fual
leaking from a couple of the injectors. I reused the entire injector.
I've heard that you need to at least replace the heat shield, and I
didn't do this.
The liquid coming from around the injectors looked a bit black. There
isn't a chance that the combustion chambers are full of oil? That would
suck.
Anything else I should look into? I'm thinking I'll re-time the pump.
