    How to verify injection pump/cam timing

    I agree with everyone by not removing housing, how we put our moose pump on, I'm new to these diesels but long time backyard mechanic and toolmaker,I would think in the case of NEEDING to remove the cover a simple tool could be made, years ago had a VW diesel, had a simple plate to hold cam in...

    Just a stupid egt question

    Cast iron will produce a powder rather then a stringy chip,like common H.R or C.R. steel, especially when drilled by hand with low feed rate, wouldn't worry too much, also a majority of "chips" come up the drill bit and out, grease on the tap will catch most of chips produced by tapping, again...

    Unfortunately it happened :(

    Yes, contacted 1 last week still waiting for a reply, local guy said he can time by ear, rather do it right. may do the loaner timing device, once brake lines repaired can drive more, when driven a few miles before brake line went, had very good power and pickup. Highly suggest OP do glow plugs...
