Fuel injection pump with timing pin (typical example)
(1) Timing pin
(3) Hub nut
(4) Hole in the pump body
(6) Slot in the hub
Illustration 2 g00309806
Timing gear and hub of the fuel injection pump (Stanadyne)
(1) Timing pin
(2) Torx screws
(3) Hub nut
(4) Hole in the pump body
(5) Slot for the timing gear
(6) Slot in the hubNote: Do not remove hub nut (3) from the shaft of the fuel injection pump. The hub of the fuel pump is installed on the shaft of the pump in the factory. This procedure is done to ensure that the fuel pump is in the correct position for timing. If the hub is removed, the hub must be accurately installed to the shaft of the pump using special equipment at a Cat Dealer.Note: Do not release torx screws (2). If the torx screws are released and the timing plate is moved, the timing position that is set at the factory will be lost. If the torx screws are released, the engine must be set to top center of the No. 1 cylinder on the compression stroke before the torx screws are tightened.
Remove the fuel injection nozzles, the water pump, and the cover for the gear of the fuel injection pump.
Rotate the crankshaft in a clockwise direction until the inlet valve on the No. 1 cylinder closes. Slowly rotate the crankshaft until the slot for timing gear (5) and the slot in hub (6) are aligned with the hole in pump body (4).Note: The position of the slot is on the bottom for the Stanadyne fuel injection pump. The position of the slot is on the top for the Bosch fuel injection pump. The slot is for inserting the timing pin.
Insert timing pin (1) through the timing gear and the slot in the hub. Push the timing pin into the hole in the pump body as far as possible. When the pin is inserted all the way, the engine is at the top center of the No. 1 cylinder on the compression stroke. No resistance should be felt when the timing pin is inserted into the hole in pump body (4). The pin should be inserted all the way into the hole of the pump body.

The No. 1 cylinder must be at the top center position on the compression stroke before the fuel injection pump is installed. If the crankshaft needs to be rotated, the fuel injection pump must be mounted temporarily or the loose gear could cause damage to the front housing.
Note: After the fuel injection pump has been removed and the crankshaft has been rotated, the timing case cover is removed. After the timing case cover is removed, check that the timing marks on the face of the timing gears are aligned. Aligning the
