New to working on diesels, always worked on petrol engines jags, firebirds, thunderbirds etc....
Ended up taking off new fuel filter and filling to top with diesel, refited and bleed air from botom valve until diesel came out... tryed to crank no luck.
I think i had an air lock on the injectors............. I cracked each one and cranked engine until they leaked diesel and tightened up, and turned the engine over 3 times and she splutered to life.
