Hey guys, I'm currently trying to start my 12 valve out of a '94 on the ground.
It's cranking, but is just blowing a lot of white smoke out exhaust, nothing else. I cracked open the line on injector 1 to bleed the air out, still nothing.
When I advanced the timing last week, I followed the procedure given by Deboss Garage, and he says the engine turns counterclockwise:
Fastest Way To Set P7100 P-Pump Timing on a 5.9 Cummins 12v - YouTube
After I finished re-timing the engine to 17.5* (or so I thought), I stumbled across this video from Power Driven Diesel, which says the opposite of Deboss:
Power Driven Diesel Timing Kit Instructions - YouTube
I had apparently RETARDED my timing in my first attempt, correct? So I opened up my timing cover again, pin timed my pump and engine back to stock, then followed the procedure given by Power Driven Diesel to advance to 17.5*.
I'm only second guessing myself because of all the white smoke coming out the exhaust and difficulty I am having starting the engine, both being symptoms of an engine with too low of timing.
