Where is the timing pin located on a fuel pump?

After precisely locating TDC for cylinder Number 1, the factory positions the timing pin assembly to the gear housing, using the timing pin and the hole in the camshaft gear. If the gear housing or timing pin assembly are removed, the same precision is required to relocate it.

What do I need to change the timing on my diesel pump?

All you have to do is rotate the pump with a screwdriver and socket wrench — standard tools you can find in your garage or toolbox. You need to make sure you accurately measure the timing adjustment with a timer meter or probe for reading. Any small movement of the pump will cause massive timing changes.

What’s the timing on a Cummins P pump?

After pinning the pump, we turned the engine back to our TDC marks, so that the pump would now be timed at 18 degrees of timing. With the pump now advanced six degrees, we tightened the gear back down to 20 lb-ft to seat the gear, then pulled the timing pin, held the engine with the barring tool, and tightened it to a final torque of 144 lb-ft.

What should I do about my injection pump timing?

This bulletin involves verifying that the injection pump timing pin is properly aligned in the fuel pump and resetting the pump timing, if required, to provide peak performance. 1. Thoroughly clean the engine and fuel system before attempting to remove any parts. Pay special attention to the fuel injection pump.

Where is the timing pin on a Cummins diesel?

This meant cylinder number one would be on the top of the compression stroke. Other popular methods of finding tdc are pushing on the timing pin right below the injection pump, or using a dial indicator set to the piston on the number 1 injector hole.

Where to find TDC on Cummins injection pump?

Other popular methods of finding tdc are pushing on the timing pin right below the injection pump, or using a dial indicator set to the piston on the number 1 injector hole. We had the folks at Brown’s Diesel help us in setting timing the “correct way” which is to use a dial gauge on the delivery valve holder.

What’s the best way to change the timing on a gas pump?

We felt that a 5 to 7 degree bump would be adequate, and in the end we decided to go from 12 degrees up to 18 degrees of timing. Next we used a specialty delivery valve tool to remove the delivery valve from the pump, which will come out in a number of pieces. Don’t lose any of these! Or get them dirty.
