Illustration 3 g01140087
Timing hole location (typical example)

Note: The hole for the timing pin may be in either of the following locations:

• Right front face of the flywheel housing

• Left front face of the flywheel housing

1. Remove plug (1) from flywheel housing (2). Insert Tooling (A) through the timing hole in
the flywheel housing.

Note: If necessary, use Tooling (B) to adapt the timing pin to a larger timing hole.

2. Carefully thread the pin assembly into the flywheel housing. Release the lock that is on the
handle of the tool in order to allow the pin to locate the timing hole that is in the flywheel.

3. Use Tooling (C), Tooling (D), and a ratchet in order to turn the engine in the direction of
normal engine rotation. Normal engine rotation is counterclockwise, as the engine is viewed
from the flywheel end.

Note: Tooling (E) can be used to turn the crankshaft from the front of the engine.

4. Slowly turn the flywheel until Tooling (A) engages with the hole that is in the flywheel.

If the flywheel has been turned beyond the point of engagement, use the following
procedure to readjust the flywheel and try again:

a. Retract the pin for Tooling (A) and lock the tool in the retracted position.

b. Turn the flywheel in the direction that is opposite of normal engine rotation. Rotate
the engine past the timing hole by at least 30 degrees.

c. Unlock Tooling (A) in order to locate the timing hole that is in the flywheel. Turn the
flywheel in the direction of normal engine rotation until the timing pin engages into
the timing hole that is in the flywheel.

5. Use the following procedure in order to determine the stroke position of the no. 1 piston:

a. Remove the valve mechanism cover.

b. Check the positions of the inlet valves and the exhaust valve for the no. 1 piston.

The no. 1 piston will be in the compression stroke if the following conditions are
satisfied:

◾ No. 1 piston's inlet valves and the exhaust valve is fully closed.

◾ No. 1 piston's rocker arms can be moved by hand.

If these conditions are not met, use the same conditions to check the stroke position of
the no. 6 piston. If the no. 6 piston is in the compression stroke, you must rotate the
flywheel for an additional 360 degrees in order to place the no. 1 piston in the
compression stroke.
