So... With all the problems my 3.0tdi has had, I decided it's time to rebuild the whole engine.
It was completly dismanteled and I changed a lot of parts, including piston rods, crankshaft bearings, all sorts of other bearings, seals, pretty much new engine.
Put it back in, filled with oil and other goodies but it refuses to start.
Only error on tech2 is a fuel temp sensor, nothing else.
But the son of a preacherman refuses to start. It cranks till the batteries die but no start.
Any ideas on what I should do to it?
We, me and the mechanic, are out of ideas. It simply will not start.

Little update: might not be building oil pressure. Big might...

As far as he said, yes. But was not there when the belt and pulley were changed.
Will ask to do it again.
We are 100% out of ideas.
Thank you.

Removed, the entire engine was taken apart.

Just to be sure it's done right, is there a page/photo/clip where I can see how the whole timing is done?

Thank you very much.
Sent the photos to my mechanic.
He just confirmed that there is no oil pressure but he opened the oil pipe after the filter and oil was coming out of the pipe...
Unsure what that means or how it could find a solution.

Timing is good, valve is fine, still won't start.
No errors on tech2.
