Killer Dowel Pin...
Anyone tried the kit from Geno's where you drill and tap the side of the case to hold the KDP in place? I like the look of it better than pulling all sorts of stuff off the front of the engine... As a gunsmith, drilling and tapping is a lot easier for me than wrestling timing covers and gaskets. Any feedback on the kit? I know there are some other potential loose bolts that really need to be addressed when you tab the KDP, so what are diesel shops getting for this job? I really am a little leery about digging this deep into the engine. Yeah, I know, I can gain a valuable experience by doing it myself, but I worry about the part where you get it all back together and it works as good or better than it did, .
Thanks-

Thanks for the ideas, guys. I need to look into it a little more. Talked to the local diesel shop today, when I asked about the KDP, the owner pulled out a busted cover and said, "yeah, it is a problem." He didn't try to sell me on it, but did tell me I need to address it. I guess when the Cummins comes home I need to sort that out. Thanks for the $.02...
