I have put the engine at 14 degrees before TDC like the books say and the lined up the mark on the timing window in the pump but it still wont fire. I get white smoke when cranking and I have fuel coming out of the fuel lines from the pump to the injectors. I made sure the engine was on the compression stroke as the rockers were not under load. But still no fire.
I am taking the timing cover off soon and going to make sure everything is aligned correctly. (dropped the damn woodruff key when installing the injector pump so had to pull the cover and then did not have the correct gasket so tried to make one out cardboard and now leaks something awful) In the diagram above, if I line all the timing marks up will this put the engine at 14 degrees before TDC as it is suppose to be? Or will I need to put the pulley on and spin it back 14 degrees then line up the timing mark on the injector pump? Another problem is I dont have a timing tag on the timing cover so I am just going off what I have seen online with the timing tag coming out of the bolt hole on the idler pulley indent. (if that makes any sense at all)
Does the tractor running on ether indicate that the valve timing is correct?
Also, when bleeding the fuel system, I bleed the filter starting with the one closest to the tank and progress to the pump. After I have fuel coming out of the injector lines it should be free of air...right? I hope the injector pump is still working correctly as a new one is over $1,500.
Could my injectors be bad?
I am losing it and I need this old girl up and running really soon.
Thanks again and sorry for rambling.

Something is put together wrong. What? I dunno. I can't see it and probably wouldn't know what I was looking at if I could. But, I would strongly recommend taking it apart and checking it all over to see what is going wrong.
