Degree wheel, needle gauge to verify...Really sounds like "base mechanical" timing then, possibly low compression. I haven't read your whole thread so sorry but how did you degree your camshaft?
Is this not a new build? Or the bottom end has lots of miles on it? Just wondering how it could have low compression unless a mistake was made during piston/ring assy'?
Also are you 100% sure of your ability to properly degree a cam per mfg specs?
You did put the copper washers under the injectors and you know that they are sealing against them?
Just throwing out possible scenarios...
Pump is internally pinned to 25... verified that it hasn't slipped by front cover removal twice, now I have put a paint mark on the pump snout across the gear to make sure it doesn't slipHow are you verifying pump timing? By the sounds of it your 180 off. Also, on the cranking and burning starters, run as many clean grounds to the block that you can, the closer to the starter the better.

I'll get out there this weekend hopefully and try again.. I'll check this out, along with the other ideas, hopefully we can figure it out...I would double check by flow timing the pump off port closure #1.
I used rtv around my waterman mount, and have you seen the valve cover breather? It's two valve covers attached and there's a breather in between them.Things to address:
Oil leak out of waterman mount (suggestions?)
Get drive shafts made ( anybody have the lengths? )
Wire up everything
Install/ fabricate another crank case vent- possibly on the pump gear cover, drill/tap a hole etc...
Get brakes figured out, installed
One step closer though!

Yea, honestly... I have thought it over multiple times, and I have no idea why it started lol... but I'm glad it did! Matter of factly, we had given up essentially and it was the last attempt and she fired! LolAwesome! Glad to hear it.....fixed itself? Lol
