Well done Edd and Craig for getting it running.
It reminds me of my Merc Sprinter - that wouldn't fire after a rebuild. Checked everything, found a few things, but still wouldn't fire. Then put BIG boost starter on it and it would over that little bit faster, the hydraulic followers obviously primed and it fired up. I was on it for days, had the injector pump off and re-timed it half a dozen times, bled the injectors loads of times.
I've probably say that the dry lifters were most of the problem.
Still, it's done now!! Good stuff.

Glad you got it running Edd. Good job!
