Diesel injection pump problem

A turbo pump has different parts inside it, atmospheric compensation, and needs different injectors -- the bane of all diesel pieces stamped on them. The rebuild shops know what each stamp marking means, and overstamps if they change parts. The prior advice was great, only when you put it on, loosen the pump fuel input line and gently pressurize the return line to the tank to prime everything, saves on battery and starter. Also, be sure you are at TDC if you have to start over as there are two marks on flywheel. I do a mandatory turning engine with wrench on crankshaft pulley a couple of complete turns to know I had all timed right (I didn't and felt a valve rather than crumping one with the starter). Finally, I do not fully tighten injector nuts until I see diesel pulsing out without bubbles when I try to restart the engine. As you tighten the bled ones, it will start to run and then tighten them all. Happy rattling :)
