Remove & Install Automatic Timing Advance

Start By:

a. remove timing gear cover and oil pump

1. Remove the plug from the fuel injection pump housing and install timing pin (A).

2. While turning the crankshaft clockwise (as seen from the front of the engine), push on the timing pin (A) until it slides into the groove (slot) in the fuel injection pump camshaft.

3. Remove screw (1) and washer (2).

4. Remove automatic timing advance (3).

NOTE: The following steps are for installation of the automatic timing advance.

5. If the timing mark on the crankshaft and the timing mark on the camshaft gear are not in alignment, turn the crankshaft clockwise (as seen from the front of the engine) until the marks are in alignment.

6. Put the dowels in the gear in alignment with the holes in the weights and install automatic timing advance (3).

7. Put pin (4) in washer (2) in alignment with hole (3) and install the washer.


Camshaft removed for photographic purposes only


NOTICE

Put marks (stake) on screw (1) carefully. Too much force pushes the shaft extension into the camshaft and takes away all end clearance.


8. Install screw (1) and tighten it to a torque of 7.9 ± 0.6 N·m (70.00 ± 5.00 lb in). Put marks (stake) on the screw in two places with a hammer and punch.

9. After marks (stake) are put on screw (1), the end clearance for the gear and weight assembly must be 0.08 to 0.94 mm (.003 to .037 in). This end clearance will prevent binding against the washer, camshaft end, or camshaft gear.

NOTE: For more detailed information regarding the automatic timing advance, see the topic "Automatic Timing Advance Unit" in the Specifications Manual.
