I am not sure that it replaces Drip Timing because I recently purchased and used it.
While there are other causes for it I feel my Injectors are slightly noiser than before I used the Tool.
When I get around to it I will do the Drip Method so I can compare the difference between the 2 methods.

The issue with the Fuel Injection Pump Timing/Locking Pin is that because it uses a certain positon on the Camshaft; just as if the Fuel Injection Pump was brand new; it does not compensate for Fuel injection Pump Camshaft And Roller Wear.

The issue with the Drip Method is that your are only timing off of one of the Elements. It is possible for the other Elements to have their timing off.

But, off timing of the other Elements cannot be changed without going inside of the Fuel Injection Pump.
