First, it only works on the newer IP's with the removable plug on the outside.

The IP needs to have the "notch" on the rotating shaft.

You remove the plug on the IP and thread the pickup of the RIV tool into the threaded hole being careful to engage the slot.

Connect the positive lead to the battery.

Set the engine at 15 ATDC on the power stroke.

Loosen all screws holding the IP and remove the hard lines.


There are two lights on the display of the RIV tool, "B" and "A". The "B" light is illuminated when the timing is early. Rotate the pump away from the engine until both lights are lit. If you go slightly too far, the "A" light will illuminate telling you the timing is late. Rotate the pump back towards the engine until both lights are on.

Carefully tighten the IP screws and install the hard lines.

Remove the pickup from the side of the IP and reinstall the plug.

Disconnect the cable to the battery.

You are done.
