Preparatory Steps
Locate top dead center for cylinder number 1
by barring crankshaft slowly while pressing on
engine timing pin.
Service Tip: If the timing pin has been
damaged and can not be used to locate top
dead center, use the following steps to locate
top dead center (TDC)..
Remove
Remove the timing pin assembly and seal.

Install
The timing pin assembly is precisely located on
the gear housing to correspond to Top Dead
Center (TDC) for cylinder number 1.

CAUTION
If a gear housing other than the original
housing is installed, the timing pin assembly
must be accurately aligned to correspond to
TDC for cylinder number 1.
Failure to locate the timing pin assembly to
TDC for cylinder number 1 will result in
incorrect injection timing.

Verify that the number 1 cylinder is at or near
TDC on the compression stroke by rotating the
crankshaft until the engine timing pin engages
in the camshaft gear hole or the hole is visible
through the gear housing. Disengage the
timing pin.

Fabricate and install a wire pointer for the front
of the engine. This can be done by forming a
piece of wire that can be tightened under one
of the gear housing capscrews. The wire must
extend from the gear cover to a place on the
crankshaft vibration damper that is easily seen.
Remove all injectors. Refer to Procedure
006-026 (Injector) in Section 6.
This step is important to release cylinder
pressure so the crankshaft can be rotated
smoothly to locate TDC for cylinder number 1.
Use tool, Part Number 3377371, Engine
Barring Gear.
Rotate the crankshaft one-quarter revolution in
the direction of normal engine rotation.

Tighten the adjusting capscrew for the number
1 intake valve to zero (0) lash plus 5 turns.
NOTE: Leave the adjusti ng screw i n thi s
position until TDC i s establ i shed.

CAUTION
Use extreme care when rotating the
crankshaft. Use of too much force could
damage the valve or push rod.
Rotate the crankshaft slowly in the opposite
direction of normal engine rotation until the
piston touches the intake valve.
Mark the vibration damper at the wire pointer.

CAUTION
Make sure that the piston touches the intake
valve with approximately the same amount
of force as in the previous step.
Rotate the crankshaft in the direction of
normal engine rotation until the piston
touches the intake valve.
Mark the vibration damper at the wire
pointer.

Measure the distance and mark the vibration
damper at one-half the distance between the
two marks. This mark is the TDC mark.

CAUTION
Completely loosen the intake valve adjusting
screw. Failure to do so will result in damage
to the intake valve or push rod when the
crankshaft is rotated.

Rotate the crankshaft in the direction of normal
engine rotation until the pointer is aligned with
the TDC mark; then rotate the crankshaft one
additional revolution.

The timing pin hole in the camshaft gear must
be visible, or felt through the back side of the
gear housing. If not, the crankshaft must be
rotated one revolution in the direction of engine
rotation.
Install the o-ring into the groove on the timing
pin assembly.
Lubricate the o-ring with 15W-40 engine oil.

Push the pin into the hole in the camshaft gear
to align the housing.
Hold the pin while tightening the Torx
capscrews.

Capscrew
8 n.m [71 in-lb]
Check the pin to be sure it did not slip out of
the camshaft gear hole when the capscrews
were tightened.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the pin and gear, be
sure the timing pin is disengaged before
rotating the crankshaft.

Finishing Steps
Install the vibration damper and wire
pointer.
Install the gear cover. Refer to Procedure
007-017 (Lubricating Oil Filter Head
(Remote Mounted)) in Section 7.
Install the vibration damper. Refer to
Procedure 007-016 (Lubricating Oil Filter
Head, Aluminum (Remote Mounted)) in
Section 7.
Remove the wire pointer.

Adjust overhead. Refer to Procedure
003-004 (Overhead Set) in Section 3.
Install all injectors. Refer to Procedure
006-026 (Injector) in Section 6.
Operate the engine and check for leaks.
