They didn't from the factory, but there are one available which can be installed.

Update - back on the road

Finally got the head back from the machine shop. It took a while, but I'm pleased with it.


Back where it belongs

Set the cam timing - with the IP installed but pulled back enough to disengage


I also replaced most of the gaskets/seals on the Injection Pump.

Nice, where did you get the gaskets for the IP?

Runs great. Enjoying how smooth it is

I've put about 3000 miles since the work. It's nice not to have any oil leaks. But of course, it has to have some kind of leak The top seam of the radiator has a slight seep. I'm having to top it off about once a week. I'll probably have to replace the radiator soon, but my pocketbook needs to recover a bit first

I set the timing by ear with the engine running. Not to spec, I realize but it worked quite well.

ECS Tuning. All of them were good fits with the exception of the bottom plate (pictured) it was the wrong one. I reused the old one with a small amount of sealant.
