Timing slip
Ok how does the timing slip and how do i keep it from doing this. Is it from not tourquing the nut enof or do they just slip because my truck used to get like 20 and now in 6 months its getting 13 and i dont have that much done to the pump.
|
the gear is a tapered fit so the shaft and gear must be super clean when timing is set. Cummins says to torque the gear nut to 144ft/lbs, Most my self included torque the nut to 155ft/lbs to help prevent slipping.
|
How many miles have to be stacked on a stock truck generally for the timing to slip?
|
also make sure the shaft and the gear is clean of oil, spray them down good with brake cleaner or lectramotive spray befor you install

Ok well i am about to do the timing here quickly were can i get the delivery valve washer.
|
When I did my timing before I got my pump sent off and built I just reused the washer and didn't have any troubles.

It can really vary, but it wouldnt hurt to have it checked every 100,000 miles or so, not that big of a job to check it, plus it could slip a little bit and you cant really tell, can effect performance and mileage. |
Ok thank you
|
So i can reuse the washer?
|
i have reused the washers with no issues
|
sweet ok one more question how do i keep the pump shaft from turning when i am tourquing the nut on the gear?
|
you have to hold pressure on the barring tool, not too much or your timing will be off
|
The barring tool is that like the tourque wrench
|
no its the tool that is used to roll the motor over, it is inserted into the bell housing.
|
do i have to use that tool or can i just put a soket on the altenator and roll it over that way.
|
you can roll it over that way, but its way easyer to hold it with the barring tool than the altenator ... at least for me it is.

can i just use a socket in the end of the altenator and role it over that way
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- Were do i get this tool that goes in the bell housing. Because i have never seen one i would imagin it looks like the end of a starter gear. But mabe if someone could steer me in the right direction in getting one of these thanks. |
