ENGINE TIMING 17A
Data and dimensions
Note: This information is given as a guide for personnel engaged on engine overhauls. The dimensions
which are shown are those which are mainly used in the factory. The information applies to all engines,
unless an engine type code is shown.

Static timing:
The engine check angle must be used with special tool MS.67B and with the engine set with number 1
piston at top dead centre (TDC) on compression stroke. The pump mark angle and the piston
displacement are checked with the pump plunger set at 1,00 mm (0.039 in) plunger lift.
The code letters are included in the setting code stamped on the side of the fuel injection pump. Some
fuel pumps may have the setting code stamped on a modification plate which is fastened to the flange of
the pump. If a modification plate is fitted, use the code letters stamped on this plate. A typical setting code
is 2643J603DK/1/3020; in this example the code letters are "DK".
