VE Pump Timing Issue?

VE Pump Timing Issue?
I followed the instructions (video) on this forum for bumping up the timing. I got all of the bolts loose and was trying to move the Inj Pump and nothing was moving, I finally looked at the front bolt and the injector pump was already at the end of any adjustment travel and my timing marks are just lined up, maybe a hair low.
This was a replacement engine, did they not install the inj pump right possibly?

You have to bump it some to break it loose from the gasket on the timing cover to get it to move.

I advanced mine 1/4 inch with no real bad issues, it does not want to die sometimes, its definitely hard to kill 50% of the time. I don't mind though.

Like I stated before, I think I did, you have to knock the injection pump loose from the gasket on the timing housing with a pry bar or something, just don't break anything. Mine was stuck, I messaged Josh several times and I finally figured out my injection pump was stuck to the timing cover via the gasket, so I had to knock mine with a big prybar. That's what I had to do to get it to even move even with the ratcheting strap.

Looking from the drivers seat it should be only 1/8 inch clockwise past the timing mark on the timing housing, the timing mark on the injection pump should only be 1/8 inch past that mark on the housing. Period, I had to retard mine from 1/4 inch past the timing mark clockwise, and I gain back about 5 PSI I lost going to the 1/4 inch mark, I set it a little short of 1/8 inch and gain much more than at 1/4 inch.
