You are completely missing the point. There are 2 timing marks and one tooth with a line and usually painted red. This red tooth is NOT a timing mark at all ever. It is a service mark so that the pump will not be on a stroke and so that it will be easy to install the HH. The timing mark on the...

There are marks that you line up to remove the HH. (The RED tooth) These are not timing marks but rather servicing marks. Removing it any other way risks damaging the HH. There are also timing marks for the injection timing.

the injectors do atomize the fuel if they are good. tom

see how this confuses the issue? there are only 2 timing marks and the red tooth on the HH is not one of them. has nothing to do with setting the timing, just removing the head. if your marks are lined up on the balancer and the advancer window, you are set. i would just run a couple of tanks...

james, each tooth of the HH would be 24° at crankshaft. tom

so there are no lines at all to the fdc?? i doubt that the advancer would stick, but anything is possible. different fuels are going to give you noticeable power changes without the fdc. tom

is your fdc still hooked up? that can cause changes in power. 8 psi boost is low so it would have low power, 9 psi is stock and without a pyro i would go to at least 11 psi for now. recheck the markings on the balancer for LDT, that is where you should be. tom

oh, sorry i mis read your post. i agree everything on the engine has something to do with timing, even if it is completely irrelevant to timing the IP as the red tooth is. well even it is in a vaguesort of way as it must be visable even though not lined up with anything.

james, it has NOTHING to do with timing. when the scribed tooth lines up with the pointer inside the shut off cover, that is the ONLY position the HH can be removed without damage to the other parts of the pump. if it says anything to the contrary in any manual, it is a misprint. chris, it...

chris, that is not correct, the red tooth does not line up when the other 2 marks do. the balancer mark and the ip timing mark under small cover are for injection timing. the scribed red tooth is not for timing. it is only for removal of HH. tom

but none of this matters as you do not use any of the marks on the pulley to install the HH. to replace the HH, you line up the red tooth only and do not move anything until you put the new HH in. how did you get it out or back in without bending the drive gear cover? tom
