Just kidding you... I have friends in Bowlingreen.... So... You pulled off the grear cover with the pump attached and you can't get the number one glow plug out... Gees.... Your in a sticky wicked mess eh.....
About the easiest way to find top dead center on number one is pull the passenger side valve cover. Watch the intake valve action. It opens just before the top of a stroke. Then it cloese at the bottom of the stroke. Now as it comes up to the top both valves are closed and you will see the timing marks on the crank. You want the shorter of the two probe fittings. There is a small line printed into the timing tab. Now find the article about this gear timing method in the above tech articles. Its really easy just mark a line across the gear and set it in.... Do not try to leave the gear attached to the housing and pump. Its just too hard to make sure you have the gear alinged properly. Others will be along shortly to assist where I may have left something out.... Post back for any help or questions... Much easier to ask a question than fix a mistake.... They can be costly and time consuming ...
