Perkins Phaser Series - To Check the Timing Mark of the Fuel Injection Pump

ENGINE TIMING 17A
To check the timing mark of the fuel
injection pump17A-04
Special tools:
Pump timing gauge, MS.107
Universal timing gauge, MS.67B
Gear adaptor for use with MS.67B, PD.67-3
Note: Only early Bosch EPVE pumps have a mark
on the flange. The mark was removed when the
locking screw was introduced.
1Remove the fuel injection pump, operation
20A-06A.
2 Fit the adaptor PD.67-3 to the drive shaft of the
fuel pump (A) and fasten it with the nut of the fuel
pump gear.
3 Release the screw (B3), set the timing tool to the
correct angle, see data and dimensions, and tighten
the screw.
4 Fit the timing tool to the splined adaptor on the
fuel pump drive. Release the screw (B1), slide the
pointer (B2) forward until it is over the centre of the
fuel pump flange and tighten the screw. Rotate the
timing tool and the pump shaft to align the master
spline with the number 1 outlet of the pump
(outlet "C").
5 Remove the plug and the washer from the centre
of the rear of the fuel pump and fit the adaptor
MS.107. Fit a dial gauge to the adaptor and set the
gauge to indicate approximately 2,0 mm (0.080 in).
6 With the fuel injection pump held securely, rotate
the tool and the drive shaft counter-clockwise, from
the drive end, and set the dial gauge to zero when
the pump plunger is at its lowest position. Keep the
fuel pump secure and rotate the drive shaft
clockwise until the gauge indicates 1,0 mm
(0.039 in) plunger lift. At this position the slot in the
pointer of the timing tool must align with the mark
on the flange of the fuel pump.
8 If the mark is not correct, remove the timing tool
and eliminate the mark on the flange. Fit the timing
tool and repeat the above operation to obtain
1,0 mm (0.039 in) plunger lift. With the fuel injection
pump and timing tool held securely in the correct
position, make a new mark on the flange of the fuel
pump, within the slot of the pointer. Release the
timing tool and repeat the operation to check that
the new mark is correct.
9 Remove the timing tool, splined adaptor and the
adaptor and dial gauge. Fit the washer and plug to
the rear of the fuel pump.
10Fit the fuel injection pump, operation 20A-06A.
11Eliminate air from the fuel system, operation
20A-08A.
