Hello everyone, I am new here. I just picked up a 1984 Mitsubishi Mighty Max with the 4d55-T diesel.

Basically, the guy I bought the truck from blew the head gasket and replaced it, and wasn't able to get it to start. So, when I got it, the timing belt was off already, and I basically put it all back together. Put a new battery in it, primed the fuel all the way up to the injectors (i.e. when I turn it over with them cracked, fuel comes out in pulses), tightened them down and went to see if I could get it to fire and she doesn't want to. The glow plugs were wired manually and I have tested them and they are all good.

When I turn it over, I get a lot of white smoke that smells like partially burned diesel out of the tail pipe.

I have drained the battery twice now and can't seem to figure this out?

Any ideas would be awesome guys!

Thanks, Kyle
