Procedure for Pin Timing

Illustration 6 g01925035
Flywheel housing
(1) Timing hole
 Note: The opposite side of the flywheel housing can be used for this procedure. When
using the opposite side, the shorter timing pin will need to be used to perform the
procedure.

1. Remove plug (1) from the timing hole that is located in the flywheel housing. Install the
assembled timing pin into the timing hole.

Note: If the flywheel is turned beyond the point of engagement, the flywheel must be
turned in the direction that is reverse of normal engine rotation. Turn the flywheel by
approximately 30 degrees. Then turn the flywheel in the direction of normal rotation until
the timing pin engages with the threaded hole. This procedure eliminates the backlash
from the gears when the No. 1 piston is at the top center position.

2. Install tool (A) into the gear in the top left-hand side of the flywheel housing.

Tool (A) is used for turning the flywheel in the flywheel housing. Turn the engine in the
direction of engine rotation. The direction of engine rotation is counterclockwise, as the
engine is viewed from the flywheel end. Turn the engine until the timing pin engages
with the threaded hole in the flywheel.

Note: Tooling (B) or (C) may also be used to turn the flywheel. Either of the three tools
may be used depending on the application and available space.

3. Remove the valve mechanism cover from the engine.

Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Valve Mechanism Cover - Remove and Install".

4. The inlet and exhaust valves for the No. 1 cylinder are fully closed if No. 1 piston is on
the compression stroke. Also, the rocker arms can be moved by hand when the piston is
 on the compression stroke. If the rocker arms cannot be moved and the valves are slightly
open, the No. 1 piston is on the exhaust stroke.

Note: When the actual stroke position is identified, and the other stroke position is
needed, remove the timing bolt from the flywheel. Then turn the flywheel by 360 degrees
in the direction of normal engine rotation and reinstall the timing bolt.
