Sorry to correct anyone, But I too am new to this forum and the term KDP stands for Killer Dowel Pin! Yes, It is a dowel pin used in the front of the block to locate the timing cover. The cover has no closure over the dowel pin to keep it from working its way out of its proper location and falling into the moving gear assembly below, Actively grenading the timing cover at very least and causing an oil leak. This is one of the first fixes I performed on my 12 valve as soon as I got it. You could make your own tab to bolt over the dowel pin hole, But I would suggest investing in a timing cover gasket. The magazing Diesel Power had an article on it earlier this year that covers the entire procedure. Enjoy those diesels .....
