Made an account just to ask a few q's save face a bit helping my son on his zd30.
My young fella (15) has a 06 d22 zd30 that we picked up cheap for him to run around the paddock and learn to drive in, I came home one arvo to find he had tried to change the glow plugs himself and snapped 3 of them. We remove the head, and find the head is cracked anyway, we also found a nice crack in the main timing case, looks like he's hit a starpicket or something, but he reckons he never did. So it gets pushed into the barn for a few months and we move on.
About 2 months ago, my neighbour tells me he has new head sitting in his shed, still in box, had it for some time, but tells my son he can have it for some jobs around the farm. Young fella gets to work and earns himself a replacement head, so I purchased a secondhand timing case, and a few other bits and pieces for him and we pull it down.
My son has done most of the work, I have just supervised and been his assistant, this was supposed to be a learning experience for him. I have built a couple old 186 holden reds, but never a diesel. Now that it's all bolted back to together, she turns over fine, but wont kick, tried aerostart, but still no kick. Which leaves me thinking it has no compression, but we cant work out why.
cam clearances range from .23 to .35, book says they should be .30 to .40, but I'm not convinced this would be enough to stop her kicking over.
All timing marks matched up as per workshop manual.
Any ideas on what I should check next would be great. Young fella is a bit disheartened, thinks he's done all this work for nothing, and I' quickly losing my mantle as the all knowing dad.
