So the only mark I need to make to keep timing when removing the IP is on the IP housing and on the timing gear cover? Correct?
I never did understand why this is?Yes as long as you don't loosen or remove the gear cover ...
I never did understand why this is?
It just "covers" the gear correct, (if) it's removed does the gear move somehow? And on mine it's the oil fill too.
If you re remove the cover , the gear comes with it...
The only thing that the gear is connected to is the three funny bolts on the nose of the injection pump. once you undo those, the gear is loose. if you leave the cover in place it keeps the gear from moving and holds it's timing, but if you pull it up, the thing flops over.
alternatively, if you try to take the pump off attached to the cover, it takes the gear with it , and it's major timing nightmare when it goes back on.
Only way to do it is to pop the two little inspection plate bolts off the cover and take the three little odd mounting bolts off ( 12 pt 8mm works here use locktite blue when re installing and torque to spec)
Aw cmon, it wasnt that bad!!
