Where are the timing marks on the engine?

Where are the timing marks on the engine?

There are no timing marks on the outside of the engine, there are timing marks on the camshaft and fuel pump gears, you will not need to look at these unless you have had the gears apart. There is a timing pin on the rear of the gear housing (behind fuel pump, above air compressor) that will locate the engine at number 1 TDC.

What is the firing order of a fuel pump?

Hi,The firing order is 153624, if you take the fuel pipes off as groups of front 3 cylinders and rear 3 cylinders, you cannot get them back on in the wrong order. There are no timing marks on the outside of the engine, there are timing marks on the camshaft and fuel pump gears, you will not need to look at these unless you have had the gears apart.

Do you need timing mark on Bosch pump?

NOTE: The timing mark is not required for Bosch® VE and DP210 used on Tier II Industrial engines. For these engines, vary timing by using the Timing Check procedure. To verify that the fuel injection pump is timed correctly, first check the alignment marks on the pump flange and gear housing.

How can I Check my fuel pump timing?

To verify that the fuel injection pump is timed correctly, first check the alignment marks on the pump flange and gear housing. NOTE: 1 mm of rotation past the timing mark will advance or retard (depending on direction of rotation) the pump timing by 1 degree.

Which is the first step in fuel pump timing?

Engine pump timing begins with the timing of the fuel injection pump drive gear to the camshaft gear. The first step is the location of TDC of the compression stroke for cylinder Number 1.
