So I'm looking at tabbing my kdp here soon.

I think this is probably a stupid question but I don't know the answer myself.

When I take my Timing Case cover off will I be able to bump my timing up to 18* from there or will I have to go through the pump like most people do?

I'm not completely sure how any of this works I just know theres some gears in there... one for my cam, one for my crank, and I hope one for my Injection pump?

 

ya u could do that without taking the timing cover off pull your oil fill tube and get a puller pull the gear off time your motor where you want it and put the gear back on i make it sound simple but it somtimes can be a pain in the

 

yes you can do it with the cover off, that will allow you to really make sure the pump shaft is clean before you put the gear back on.

 

Hmm so do you guys suggest i tackle it from inside the timing cover while I'm tabbing my kdp?

 

the same way you would do it when the cover is on

 

Alright. Well looks like its time to start gathering tools and parts

 

pick up some electrical contact cleaner for cleaning the pump shaft also some paper towels to wipe it off with
