3412C GENERATOR SET ENGINE Caterpillar

Fixed Timing Advance (Used with Series Turbocharger Arrangement)

Usage:

Removed Fixed Timing Advance

1. Turn the engine counterclockwise (as seen from the flywheel end of the engine) with tool (A) until the No. 1 piston is at top center (TC) on the compression stroke. Install the timing bolt. Install 6V2112 Timing Pin through the hole in the injection pump housing. See the topic, FINDING TOP CENTER COMPRESSION POSITION FOR NO. 1 PISTON in SENR4652 TESTING AND ADJUSTING.

NOTE: Tool (B), 6V2112 Timing Pin, replaces 6V6019 Timing Pin

Typical Example

2. Remove two bolts (1).

3. Remove eleven bolts (2) and cover (3).

4. Remove four bolts (4), retainer (5), and fixed timing advance (6).

Install Fixed Timing Advance

1. Install fixed timing advance (6). Install retainer (5) and four bolts (4).

2. Tighten the bolts (4) with fingers until there is a small amount of friction (slight drag) between the retainer and the timing advance unit (6). This friction will hold the unit against the timing gears. This prevents play (backlash) when gears are turned to the correct position.

3. Remove the timing bolt. Turn the flywheel until the timing pin will go into the groove in the injection pump camshaft.

4. With the timing pin installed, turn the flywheel clockwise (opposite the direction of engine rotation) a minimum of 30 degrees. The reason for this step is to be sure the play is removed from the timing gears when the engine is put on top center (TC).

5. Turn the flywheel in the direction of engine rotation until the No. 1 piston of the engine is on top center compression stroke. Then turn the timing bolt into the threaded hole in the flywheel.

6. Tighten bolts (4) to 25 N·m (20 lb ft). Then remove the timing pin from the injection pump housing.

7. Tighten bolts (4) to 230 ± 15 N·m (170 ± 11 lb ft). Then remove the timing bolt from the flywheel.

8. Turn the crankshaft two complete revolutions and check the timing again to see that timing pin will go into the groove in the injection pump camshaft with bolt in flywheel.

9. If timing is not correct, do the procedure of Steps 1 through 7.

NOTE: If timing is correct, Be Sure To Remove Timing Pin And Timing Bolt.
