Help me a lot understanding when I went to ajust my valves after head gasket repair had other people saying after I get pin to slid in the d-tent hole and set valves on #1 and it’s companions is rotate over 360 and put pin back in and do again but it’s not there your right. You would have to spin balancer twice just to get it to see hole in timing gear were pin goes..
I pulled the plastic pin out, made a facetime call between my ipad and iphone, put my iphone down where i could watch the timing indicator show up while i turned thE motor.
So I am lookin at a 1st gen cummins with a new injection pump and the pump or the engine is out of timing. If I did exactly what was in this video could I find TDC without taking anything off?
The pump is always going to be a bit advanced in relation to engine TDC. When engine is at TDC have you verified if the pump can be pinned using the included pin tool? If the engine is at stock timing (listed on the engine serial plate), the pump should be able to be pinned when engine is at TDC.
@@jeremiahvotruba2921 I'd say unless you have a degree wheel or some way to measure as you turn from TDC to where the pump pin lines up, you'll not have a good reference to where it is now.
@@oldcroneysgarage9739 MUCH better. I haven't done any MPG figuring yet as I'm still getting things dialed in but based on the fuel gauge alone, I am seeing significantly better mileage.
Now that I've got about 14,000 miles on the swap now, I've been able to get some good mileage data. At about 65mph, I'm getting about 18mpg. Loaded with our camper (~8k fully loaded) I'm seeing 13.5+. Bear in mind I still have 4.10 gears so there is still more to gain if I regeared. All in all, I'm very happy with the swap. It makes the truck so much more capable and fun to drive.
Thank you. Actually very helpful. That ending was good too. I appreciate you passing the knowledge and probably saved me from doing the same.
Very informative video. Thanks. I’m a mechanic and this helped me a lot! About to put a Cummins swapped ford on the dyno, going to advance the pump.
very well done explanation. The engine is a real beauty!
Thanks a lot for filming this. Extremely helpful for my army truck rebuild...
Glad it was useful!
Well done video. All good information.
Very nice, clearly helpful thank you sir i will attempt this on my own.
Good common sense explanation. Thanks!!
Well done, thank you, thank you, thank you. Clear and concise
Power driven diesel on RUclips has another way of adjusting valves on the 12 valve. Good luck with your build.
Excellent info. Very helpful tips. Thanks 👍
Extremely helpful! Thanks!
Great video, very helpful
Very informative. Thx
Hi Dante. Could you advise which intake and exhaust valves to adjust at tdc and at 180 from tdc?
180 is at the crankshaft or camshaft?
Thanks
Very helpful! Thank you😃

I’m a mechanic for over 45 years., I feel your pain. Thanks
Very helpful thankyou

I just used an inspection mirror and a flashlight to see the de-dent.
How did you retrieve the broken piece of timing pin inside the injection pump?
I was able to find it through the governor spring access. It took a while and I had to get creative to fish it out. It wasn't fun.
Thank you . I don’t want to have this pump torn down . Ugh
How do I time the pump ?
Thx
So.... engine is at TDC. P100 is still in truck. Does that mean the pump is TDC? This is where I sit at the moment. Any guidance?

@@dante04srt truck is not stock. I will not be able to pin the pump. Will I lose my timing that has proven to work well?
@@jeremiahvotruba2921 I'd say unless you have a degree wheel or some way to measure as you turn from TDC to where the pump pin lines up, you'll not have a good reference to where it is now.
@@dante04srt uhhhhh that's not good. Very much appreciated responses! Thank you sir. Have a fantastic day.
Anyone know how to find TDC on a vt555? It's installed in a boat, and the damper is too corroded to see the mark
Where did you find a metal pump timing pin?
Picked it up from a seller on Amazon if I remember correctly.
God bless
How did the swap go?
Swap went good. Got it running in my 98 K3500 dually cclb. Sooooo much better than the 454.
@@dante04srt I bet it gets better fuel mileage too

360 degrees to adjust other valves. not 180
Nice name lol
Yea i might as well just pull the head off the engine and put it at tdc that way
You keep saying 180 degrees when you mean 360 degrees. Still a good video though.
You're right. Too much time working on gas engines in the past and the terminology just stuck.
Very helpful thank you!
Glad it was useful, thanks!
