the pump flange, operation 20E-06.
3 Align the key in the adaptor PD.67-2 (A) with the
keyway in the gear of the fuel injection pump and fit
the adaptor to the gear. Ensure that the adaptor is
against the rear face of the timing case. Secure the
adaptor to the gear with the nut supplied with the
adaptor.
4 Loosen the screw (B4) on the timing tool
MS.67B. Set the timing tool to the correct engine
check angle, see the data and dimensions, and
tighten the screw. Loosen the screw (B5) and fit the
splined shaft (B3) into the timing tool (B). Loosen
the screw (B2). Fit the 90° pointer PD.67-4 (B3)
and tighten the screw.

6 Loosen the lock screw (B2). Slide the pointer
forward until the flat face is against the rear face of
the timing case and tighten the screw. Rotate the
timing tool clockwise, as seen from the rear of the
engine, to remove the backlash. If the mark on the
timing case is correct, the mark will align with the
top edge of the pointer (B1). If the mark is not
correct, remove the timing tool and eliminate the
mark on the timing case. Fit the timing tool. Ensure
that the pointer is against the timing case and make
a new mark on the timing case along the top
straight edge of the pointer.
7 Remove the timing tool and the adaptor.
8 Fit a new joint to the fuel injection pump flange
and fit the pump, operation 20E-06.
