Long odds

Good morning all,

Sixto,

I am still confused. I am not finding what I need in the manuals.

What is getting my goat is this. I am building up the motor after a complete teardown. I need to know how to set up the timing chain from square one. It seems that I should line up the crank at #1 TDC and the match the camshaft with its timing mark. The move the crank to 15 Deg. ATDC and look for the timing(RIV?) mark in the port of the IP. With that the engine should run. But, the issue that scares me is this, how do I know that the IP is timed to deliver fuel to the #1 Cylinder?

It appears to be a one in six chance of getting it right.

There are no timing marks on the drive gear for th IP.

There must be a way of knowing with certainty that the IP is correctly timed.

This is my first experience with a diesel in this respect. I have only changed filters up to this point.

Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge about these matters.

Eddie E.
