Megansfolly Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 took pump out to do crank but it back together today but noticed pin had come out that times it up and dunno which way the cog has tuned. i ve heard the pump does two turns to every on of the crank is this is rite how do i time it up properily Quote
western Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Has the gear moved ? can you refit the timing pin without moving the gear ? on the side is a keeper plate & retainer bolt, before removing the pump from engine, your meant to correctly fit the timing pin & then slacken the retianer bolt/remove the keeper plate & screw the bolt into the pump to lock it in the correct timied postion ready for refit -- obviously undo the bolt & refit plate before turning the engine over.

jimmy_neutron Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 took pump out to do crank but it back together today but noticed pin had come out that times it up and dunno which way the cog has tuned.i ve heard the pump does two turns to every on of the crank is this is rite how do i time it up properily This is not recommended but is what i would do.. 1) set the timing of everything else by the timing marks on the engine. You now know that No1 is at TDC and therefore is about to enter the induction stage of its 4 stroke cycle. Therefore it is about to have fuel delivered by the injection pump. Get the idea ? 2) slacken off / remove the metal pipes which go to the injectors and turn the pump by hand (clockwise i think) until fuel starts to come out of the pipe going to no1 cylinder. 3) Back the turns off a couple of degrees and you should be able to slide the pin back in. B) 4) don't blow yourself up Quote
Megansfolly Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 is ther eno wat like the lucas one of removel a bolt and pushing a pin through the side? Quote
western Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I'll find a pic, so it will be a bit clearer. item 4 on this page is the lock bolt & keeper plate. it's just to the rear of the pumps mounting flange on the left side as you look towards the rear from the front of the vehicle Quote
Megansfolly Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 cheers western i ve done 2 and 3 can i just rotate pump untill the 4 drops in to place then? Quote
western Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 worth a try, just don't undo the big central nut in the middle of the belt pulley, or it'll be a full pump strip & setup & will cost loads. Quote
