Put timing bolt (2) [long bolt that holds cover (1)
on the flywheel housing] through the timing hole
in the flywheel housing. Use the 9S9082 Engine
Turning Tool (4) and 1/2" drive ratchet wrench to
turn the engine flywheel in the direction of
normal engine rotation until the timing bolt
engages with the threaded hole in the flywheel.

NOTICE
If a camshaft is out of time more than 18 degrees
(approximately 1/2 the diameter of timing pin out of
groove), the valves can make contact with the
pistons. This will cause damage that will make
engine repair necessary.

*Put No. 1 piston at top center (TC) position and make identification for the correct stroke. Make reference to FINDING
TOP CENTER POSITION FOR NO. 1 PISTON. After top center position for a particular stroke is found and adjustments
are made for the correct cylinders, remove the timing bolt and turn the flywheel 3600 in the direction of normal engine
rotation. This will put No. 1 piston at top center (TC) position on the other stroke. Install the timing bolt in the flywheel and
complete the adjustments for the cylinders that remain.

NOTICE
The camshafts must be correctly timed with the
crankshaft before an adjustment of fuel timing is
made. The timing pins must be removed from the
camshafts before the crankshaft is turned or damage
to the cylinder block will be the result.

INJECTOR SYNCHRONIZATION
Tools Needed:
6V3119 Rack Synchronizing Gauge.
Injector synchronization is the setting of all
injector racks to a reference position so each injector
gives the same amount of fuel to each cylinder. This is
done by setting each injector rack to the same position
while the control linkage is in a fixed position (called the
synchronizing position). The procedure for adjustment of
injector synchronization is as follows:
