This post has some good info.


Injection pump timing


I think even the cheap Haynes manual explains reinstalling the IP .
There are marks on the gear for the IP that make getting it lined up pretty easy.
Reminded me of doing a camshaft alignment.

Replacing a timing chain is easy and no routing is required.
If you tear down and rebuild, that is a nother story.
