How do you install an IP timing gear?

Apply sealant to the timing cover and install over the IP timing gear. Thread the 4 bolts in very loosely to make installation of the IP easier. Align the slot in the IP to mate with the dowel in the 4 o’clock position. Install the IP to engage with the IP timing gear about half way.

What’s the best way to set timing on an IDI?

Install the washers and nuts on the IP before fully engaging the IP. Install the IP shaft to timing gear bolts (the 12 point ones). Tighten the timing cover bolts. Now align the timing marks on the IP and timing gear cover. If you didn’t previously note the how your timing was set, this is a good place to start.

Where is the Y mark on the IP timing gear?

Take your jiffy marker and draw a line on the IP timing gear from the tooth with the Y mark on it to the 53rd tooth which is directly across the gear. I went clockwise with tooth 1 being the one after the Y mark. Now carefully place the IP gear so it engages with the cam gear. The jiffy marker line should be straight up and down.

Where does the IP gear go on the Idi 101?

The gear will move from side to side a bit, but in the center position it should be square with the block. You will notice that the IP alignment dowel is in the 4 o’clock position, and the lower IP pump bolt lines up with the little slot in the timing cover plate. Apply sealant to the timing cover and install over the IP timing gear.
