Rebuilt dexta will not start.

Post by Samc123 »

I have just had a full rebuild done on the 62 dexta.. It will not come to life at all,, it is also getting a lot off pressure coming back through the air cleaner, when being cranked over. I have checked my valve clearance over and over done them too .012.. Just the pops off pressure through the air cleaner is worrying me. Thanks

Are you sure the timing is correct... crankshaft, valves & fuel pump? See workshop manual.

Yeah I'll take the covers off and have a look.. It's just a engineering place, did the rebuild I was hoping they got the timing set right.. :?
