Section 0 - Engine Disassembly and Assembly - Group 00 Engine Assembly (0-02) M11 Page 0-101 NOTE: If the crankshaft is rotated beyond the 5.160 mm [0.2032 inch] BTDC position, the crankshaft must be rotated counterclockwise back to the 45 degrees BTDC mark. Rotate the accessory drive shaft clockwise slowly until the piston travel gauge is at 5.160 mm [0.2032 inch] BTDC. Read the push rod travel gauge counterclockwise from ‘‘0’’ (zero). This travel represents the static injection tim- ing value. In the example shown, the value is 5.97 mm [0.235 inch].
To verify the correct static injection timing for a particular engine, check the CPL number on the engine dataplate then refer to the Control Parts List, Bulletin No. 3379133. Timing codes are listed as two letter alpha characters. An example is a code which indicates a nominal set- ting of 5.08 mm [0.199 inch]. Refer to the accompanying chart. If the indicator reading is higher than the specification, the timing is retarded . If the indicator reading is lower than the specification, the timing is advanced .
