Engine timing for dumb people...

First check that your crank is on position O/T


next check that your cam is on this position...
use that square on cam to line it


Then try put your injection pump lock pin to place


Injection pump can be 180degrees wrong.. so if car does not start you can try to turn it...

and remember remove lock pin before you start

Have you considered upgrading to an MLS? Do they make em for the TD's?


I love ghetto 'let's not take ourselves too seriously' style mechanics, that's the most fun. Great projects!

yes... and my friend has mls in hes 524td...
no problems with 2.6bar boost and with very high performance ip

but these are quite hard to get for m21 engine...

Now i have mls gasket... so no more exploding gaskets...

Hope this solves your problem, as it did mine's.

Did you get any video or pics of my 524td on track day?

I'm going to need one of these MLS gaskets. And a set of M51 head bolts. Mmmm... Can't wait!

Im starting to make new exhaust manifold for my engine....

i sold my older one to my friend...

this manifold will be copy of Herlevi's Valtra pulling tractor exhaust manifold
Like in this http://irc-galleria.net/user/Laskeuma/picture/102080331

Collector welded for cylinders 1 & 2

New turbine chamber for my turbo, bit larger than old one
Old was a/r 0.63 single inlet, this new is a/r 0.84 dual inlet


Me and my little turbo, now you can realize how large is turbo for 2.4litre diesel engine which have power goal of 350hp
and this turbo actually spools in about 2000rpm

Project continues with new exhaust manifold, finally i got welding machine to adjustments...


It will be something like this...

i will make two collectors more for 1&2+3 and 6&5+4
and i will lift turbo a bit

Looks like an angry octopus with only 6 arms...


Love it.

Handsome devil, if you ask me. (yes homo)

Few quite old pics... but i like these...


you can see how opel ascona c irmscher rear wing fits to e28
little fixing in future and it is perfect

Project goes on....
few part where quite tricky to get on right place...
i did little mishap with measurements... so manifold is little bit too far from the engine... but i tried it to the car... and it fits...

i can still make final collectors turned little bit to the engine...
this way turbo will be in correct place...

little progress with my manifold

this project is awesome! i was just thinking the other day if anybody was actually doing any kind of E28 diesel build, and that it would be kickass if someone was.

will be checking in for updates.

we have one quite angry one...

That is pretty bad.

Ok... moving on with my project...

im working with my exhaust manifold and with little bit better finishing quality...

I tested these 1-2 pipes with paint... it looks quite good

Almost ready... 1-2-3 welded up with collector...

only 1 collector and turbo flange + waste gate lines and it is ready!
